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.

I accidently sprayed a young potato, drenched with water within 30
seconds....no good, dead tatty


Oh I was rather hoping strong woody bushes might not be so vulnerable but
it seems not

Not summat to be messed with eh?
