Does anyone know if this will kill well established trees (oak)? I'm trying to avoid that, but kill the weeds in about 500 sqft.

Honestly I don't know but my understanding is it keeps seeds from germinating and maaaybe kills emerging seedlings? Where I've used it is a barren area that runs off onto a sidewalk and street. However here in SW weeds love barren places!

Define well established. If its a mature tree and you don't dump the entire bag around it, it shouldn't be a problem. If it's only a few years old, I'd be more cautious. If used appropriately it should still be fine. I'd start with a light application and see what weeds survive. You can always do the areas that need it a second time rather than risk the tree by applying super heavy to get it all in one shot. But if we're talking a nice tree with trunk over 6 inches in diameter it's probably still safe. The roots are deep enough and broad enough to avoid much damage.

I use Noxall within about 5 feet of pine trees on my gravel drive and it has had no effect on them for the 5 years I have used this product. I would stay away from directly under the tree if possible, tho, just in case. I understand the product kills within about 6-8 inches of the surface by forming a level that does not allow root penetration.

I was told by a gardener that it will kill trees and other vegetation. So, when I spread Noxall, I avoided my trees, rose bushes and other plants. It killed all the weeds and vegetation and I am free of some of the worst weeds in our Nevada area.

Sorry, don't know answer to your question. I do know that after two treatments by my lawn service without getting rid of nutsege this killed the weed. This leads me to believes me that it is a strong weed killer. I would not use near your flowers without exert advice.

Not really, this product is designed to kill greenery. I have sometimes sprayed around trees accidently and nothing happened to the trees or roots

It's powerful but not that powerful. Try vinegar to kill the weeds then maybe this will get them out after they're dead.

This product is non selective. It will kill both of the grass and weeds. The Weed B Gone Clover is not very effective to kill the weeds. Does anyone know the more effective weeds killer that the professional lawn care services use?

I have marathon grass and it did not kill the grass. It was somewhat effective in killing the oxalis but it never killed it completely.

It killed mine in the southeast region. It kills a lot of weeds, but not the grass. My grass looks great as it is able to fill in without all the weeds taking over. It even appears to be more green after usage. 1 bottle has lasted me 2 summers so far. Great product! I will buy again!

Love my Dragon! This will kill anything. Some weeds, mostly perennials, you may need to flame twice to totally kill an energy left in the roots. What I like about flaming weeds is that the result is immediate. I usually wait until a light rain then go to town around the house with no risk of mulch catching fire. Good luck.

This is the best killer that I have ever found. I would think it would kill your sprouts without any problem. I put an ounce of liquid dish soap in my 2 gallon sprayer with any brush/weed killer so it helps it to stay on the leaves and not just run off, Some leaves or even wild onions have a wax on them that sheds water. Hope this helps you.

Yes, I've read that it works, but ONLY on a LIVING, FRESHLY CUT stump. I remember reading someone else's post that, if you want to kill the stump, you need to apply this weed killer to the stump immediately after cutting the plant/bush/tree. If you wait too long, the plant forms a 'scab' (I don't remember the correct term) and then the weed killer will NO LONGER work. Depending on the size of the stump, you could apply the weed killer with a cotton swab, a foam brush or a bristle brush. You just have to apply it promptly! If the stump is still alive - and it hasn't 'scabbed over', yet - then the stump should suck the weed killer down to the roots, killing the stump.

It does not kill grass of any kind. Look up the plant lists that it will kill - they are all broad leaf weeds and brush/trees.

it might kill the oak tree. I know the ortho brush b gon that you paint on oak stumps does a good job of killing the stump

We used it to kill our entire back lawn including weeds. It worked very well. It does need a lot of vinegar and a lot of hot sun, if possible. I had to re-treat a couple of spots, but they succumbed in due season.

Yes, it will definitely kill your grass. I have tried several recipes to rid my gravel drive of weeds, but none of the "natural" recipes kills the roots.

This herbicide ONLY kills the plants that are growing. It does not keep weeds from growing. When more weeds germinate you will need to spray again.

this will kill grass as well as weeds. Kills everything. (Ortho weed-b-gone the best for weeds in lawn)

I mixed 1 gallon Remedy with 4 gallons diesel & poured around a Mesquite tree with huge thorns at the edge of our pasture. Nothing else we had tried would kill this tree. It was about 12 feet tall and very bushy. We cut in down as much as possible first. Pour slowly and let it soak in. Put it in the smallest area possible because nothing else will grow again.
