A weed killer can solve one garden headache while quietly creating another. Products containing triclopyr can damage shrubs when gardeners apply too much, spray too close, or ignore how long this herbicide can remain active in soil.
Many gardeners reach for stronger weed control when vines, brush, and stubborn broadleaf weeds start taking over the yard. The trouble begins when a product designed for tough plants reaches the delicate roots and leaves of favorite shrubs. Thankfully, just a little caution can protect roses, hydrangeas, azaleas, and other landscape stars from a very unpleasant surprise.
