I am planning to renew my weedy, troubled lawn by killing the grass

to protect any flowers that are near where I plan to spray. But there
is a tree -- and old 100-foot robust tree with extensive roots --
right in the middle of the lawn. Question: will the weed killer affect
the tree and its root system? If so what can i do to still knock out
the grass, and not harm the tree?

Thanks.

You should be fine with roundup, it has almost no soil activity.
