I accidentally killed branches on one side of one of my trees. I was using
weed killer or ground sterilizer, don't remember for getting rid of weeds.
The next day I deep watered the tree. I must have sent the chemical down
deep. Soon after that the limbs on that side of tree died. How ever the next
year the branches sprouted out leaves again and got better in following
years. ww


Just yesterday I was asking aobut this at a garden shop. I sprayed
weed killer on the grass, using the garden hose, and the first year
everything was great. The second year my aim wasn't as good and I
sprayed some on about 50 leaves of a poplar tree, and some of my cedar
bushes.

Killed the leaves and limited amount of branches that held them, and
killed the cedar bushes.

The curling of the hose made the sprayer twist around sometimes when I
didnt' expect it.
