Is it selective? I want to use it next to a holly and some other bushes.

You have to be very careful, it is absorbed by any green parts of a plant
which is in active growth, if you use a sprinkle bar instead of spray and
protect the things you want to keep first, you can still use it. If you
have an accident, you need to cut off the bit that you got it on or drench
with water.


Thanks for that. I can see I will need to think very carefully how/if I use
it!
