Nick, The Rely label states "Applications to apples, berries, tree nuts, and vines should avoid contact of Rely® 280 solution, spray, drift or mist with green bark, stems, or foliage, as injury may occur to trees, berries and vines. Only trunks with callused, mature brown bark should be sprayed unless protected from spray contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes or waxed containers. Contact of Rely® 280 with parts of trees, berries or vines other than mature brown bark can result in serious damage .."
I would not recommend Rely on newly planted trees.

Has anyone used Rely herbicide around newly planted trees without ill effects? The label seems to advise against it. I really hate to go through with Roundup this late though.
