Has anyone else lost a tree to a broadleaf killer?


I cannot imagine losing a tree if you follow the label instructions.

If you're trying to get rid of crabgrass in your lawn, will
weed-be-gone work?

No. Weed-B-Gone kills broadleaf weeds. The term broadleaf is
self-descriptive.

The best crabgrass control is a pre-emergent herbicide (both organic
and non-organic exist) in early spring before the crabgrass seeds
germinate. Turf grass spreads through runners, not seed, and hence is
not affected.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS.
