Re: [Apple-Crop] Newbie Orchardist questions Herbicide on First Year Plantings
I use Aim for weeds and suckers. It’s actually labeled for use on young suckers in apple trees. Sucker Management Aim EC is effective as an aid in the management of undesirable sucker growth from the base of the trunks or root sprouts. Apply Aim EC at 2.0 fl. ozs. (0.031 pound active ingredient) per acre. Suckers and other undesirable growth must be treated when the tissue is young and not mature and/or hardened off. Care must be taken not to allow spray mist to contact desirable fruit, foliage or green stem tissue (see Precautions).

Try Scythe made by Gowan. It is quite a bit more expensive but also quite a bit safer for someone new to the practice. It works similarly to Gramoxone when used at the higher labeled rates.

If legal, you can apply solicam and gromoxone with no problems.

Plantings I have a new tall spindle orchard planted in an alfalfa field this
spring. I did not realize how much work it would be to mechanically weed the
orchard. All the orchards I have visited have told me not to use herbicides for
the first year on newly planted trees. There is a conventional nursery across
