will this kill smilax, a vine with heart shaped leaves and a tubor?

JJ, Smilax is a genus that contains over 300 subspecies so its hard to say with any certainty that Trimec will kill every one found around the globe. But I've used it for at least a couple that were growing on some hardwoods in my back yard. No doubt it worked well and since the smilax I've seen is definitely a broadleaf, the result was fully expected. I say that because in my experience, Trimec will kill any broadleaf its sprayed on good or bad. With that being said, I believe it would work fine on the species you have as well.

I am not familiar with that plant, but I expect Tordun RTU to be able to kill it, roots and all, as it has killed every type of tree, bush and invasive plant I have cut and applied it to the stump thereof.

It will kill flowers. There is a smaller spray bottle of Weed Be Gone that you can use to kill the weeds around your garden or flower beds. This bottle should be used only on lawns.

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...

No. It is a systemic insecticide, which means the product becomes present in all the plant tissue, including the fruit. By its presence in the pollen and nectar of the fruit tree, it will also kill off the bees needed to pollinate the flowers and set fruit.

It only kills Bermuda. I can spray it on my flowers and it doesn't hurt them. Great product

Depends on what you're killing...but in any event you don't mix with water, because product is in a kerosene base. It is also pretty specific to killing certain trees/plants and you should check the product information to see if what you have is on their list. I use it for Ailanthus/Tree of Heaven, and apply it straight--it will kill up to about 6" diameter if the trunk is coated from about 18" down to the ground, on all sides (bigger trees need slices cut in bark to apply; Google 'stem injection' and you will find a good video fr Australia)

The bottle says nothing about slugs or snails, lists the following: thrips, katydid, leafminers, worms, catepillars, borers, cabbage worm, ...... I don't believe this is for lawn insect control, mostly for fruit trees and ornamentals?

This product will kill poison ivy that Brush-b-gone did not kill for us. Brush-b-gone is not as strong as this product. Some poison ivy did not die. This product is much stronger. We were able to kill poison ivy vines that were taking over a wooded area. Good luck.

Yes. Be very careful NOT to get it on any other plant life you do not want to kill.

Ha! Me too. I just used this a couple weeks ago. Didn't do a thing to the junipers. I have some Virginia Creeper that is growing over my junipers. I cut into the vine and brushed it with some of the vine killer. I will post my pictures on my review of what happened. It killed the leaves. The vine doesn't look too healthy now but the junipers are fine. What I should do is cut down to the ground and brush the vines, but they are in the neighbor's yard. I'll try that too later. But I did kill most of a tree in between my roses. Did not harm them at all.

Yes. It will kill anything. I mix 12 oz of Remedy with one gallon of diesel. This diesel aids the Remedy to leach onto the plant better.

Yes, it should but it would be pretty hard to get them out at the end of the season. If you want to throw it away or spend a lot of time pulling vines out it will work

If brambles are what I think they are, a vine type berry? You probably would not like the outcome. Thin vine and leaves pass right through. I had hoped that this thing was a good shredder too.

Oh, I don't think so -- It has taken out some weed vines, maybe 2-3 feet long, and 1/4 inch in diameter.

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

Maybe if the roots are down deep enough to escape the poison. I tried to kill grass around some sedum plants. It didn't do anything to the grass, but almost killed the sedums.
