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
I have a bit of lambs ear and common lambsquarters to clean up in the
orchard before winter. 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.
Much appreciated,
