Will it kill bushes? Do I put it on the stem near the soil?

It DOES kill bushes. When you mix it, just spray it on the BUSH. It will kill it dead, dead, dead. I did it to a honeysuckle vine that was massive. It is no more. Hooray!!!!

I have no experience on those plants however every woody type plants or bush and I have tried this one it has totally eradicated it so my guess is that it was definitely will. one thing I am sure that you have already read in these questions and comments that is imperative you must apply them directly after a cut. I know dealing with poison anything you don't want to really disturb it so what I would do is apply directly to the leaves of the plant and give it a day or two and after 2 days if you do not see a drastic change then you need to cut it and apply it

This product will not dissolve your stump. This is designed to kill the roots when applied immediately after cutting the bush down.

If the roots intertwine yes the junipers are going to die. I painted this on a 3-4" diameter poision Ivy vine that was cut about 2 feet above ground. A 100 foot tall cottonwood with a base diameter of 4 feet, had the poision ivy growing on the outside of the tree. No herbicide was splashed on the bark of the cottonwood. Yet the tree died within 6 months. Tordon warns you that unlike roundup this is not effected by dirt, It keeps going all the way down to the deepest root. Great product just know what you are doing when using it

It will kill everything, it's very effective. I put it in a sprayer and spot spray all my weeds in and around the plants I want to keep. But if you get them on the ones you want, it will kill them too. Be careful.

I don't know but I found this to be difficult to use on bushes; the reason I bought it. The only thing I found it good for was cutting boxes to flatten them. It takes (at least me) two hands to run it and was not at all good for what I bought it for.

That is a good question, I have never used it to spray my hedge's. I have tried it on some vines, the tops die and then come back next year. Maybe your hedge will come back from the base...?

It states on the package the product will defoliate any plant. As for actually "killing" the grass, roots and all, I would suspect not. It'll certainly damage the turf, and likely kill patches. But I don't know if I would rely on it to kill an area of turn in preparation for a planting bed, or something of that nature. By the same token, spraying weeds within your lawn will certainly result in turf loss in the areas sprayed.

Rock salt will get rid of them as well as ground slugs (it dries out the area) but it will certainly kill all vegetation except tumbleweeds as well.

Yes, it will. It is designed to kill just about any living tree, shrub or plant. Be careful.

I just sent an answer to your question. This is probable not strong enough to use on a tree. I ordered the systemic Bayer product that was specifically for trees and shrubs.

Only if you are real careful... this stuff kills everything -- broad leaf, grasses, weeds and of course vegetables -- if you get it on a leaf it goes right to the root ... kills the entire plant.. I have used it in open areas around bushes and scrubs but never very close as it will kill the roots also ... me I would not us in a garden...

Hello Richard, I used the product straight from the container on the roots of English Ivy. It killed some of the roots but not all of them. The area I used it on had not other vegetation so it could not cause harm to other plants. I didn't need to add any water to it. AE

I found this comment from Ecosmart on the net. "Can I use your outdoor insecticides on or around my trees, shrubs or plants?" Our insecticides will not harm your plants if applied per the label directions. Some plants may be sensitive to our oils under certain conditions. Do not spray on newly planted cuttings, plant stressed by drought or when temperatures exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not spray the blooms directly. It is recommended to always test a small area first.

Not sure. Directions don't say but probably more effective sprayed or dusted directly on diseased shrub etc.

Hello Kevin,They do pretty good when cutting the bushes near the base (ground), as the stem being cut does not jump around. The blade does not do so well when cutting areas of the bush that's away from the base, as the branches jump around the blade. For cutting back branches away from the base, a hedge trimmer may do a better job. But for trimming tall grasses, the blade is much much better than a string.
