Can roundup snuff out apple trees? I was trying to slaughter some weeds and brush around apple trees...
I was trying to slaughter some weeds and brush around apple trees within my yard this spatter. So I sprayed roundup around the roots of the trees, on the ground. The apple trees started to loose their leaves soon after that, it was tip out, but the trees that I sprayed lost their leaves before the trees I didn't spray. Did I eliminate them?
Answers: Roundup has to be sprayed on foliage to execute a plant. The chemical glyphosate does not harm any article that is not green and growing, which is why you can spray poison ivy growing on a tree trunk and not murder the tree. If you got it on the leaves, you could eliminate it. And the chemical neutralizes near contact with the soil, so it does not run down into the tree's roots.
no i tree is to big to be killed by round up. i would not spay it seriously, but a few times is ok for teh tree
