Any herbicide or better recommendation for weed control around fruit and nut trees? I was thinking using the weed wiper on the 4 wheeler with 24d. That way I have no spray drift to worry about.

I wouldn’t use any 24-d around the trees. I spray gly around my trees and never had and damage to them.

Ask me how I know I spray roundup around my apple and pear trees in my yard every year, twice. Blueberry bushes too. Just sprayed them last week. Grass is dead as a hammer right now.

Gly wont work for this. Im not just spraying around the base of the tree. For that i do use gly for. Ive got about 2 acres of fruit and nut trees set on about 20 ft spacing. Its all that area i need to spray. The weeds are choking out what good grass i have in that area. Thats why i was thinking of using the wick wiper.

Not trying to keep everything dead in the rows. Just trying to take out the weeds and leave the grass. The weeds fast growth makes me have to mow twice as much as the area i have with almost no weeds. This area was farmed for years and then left to grow unkept for about 16 years. The soil from all the years of disking is very sandy and loose. Its on a slight slope and anywhere that gets bare will wash easily. In hindsight my first couple of years with the place i should have worked on getting the weeds under control before planting all the trees but, im not getting any younger and wanted them in the ground sooner rather than later.

Is there an issue with keeping it mowed? Too rough or too large an area? Constantly mowing will hold back weeds.

Probably a yr or more from building so its almost a every 10-12 days it needs mowed to keep it under control weed wise. The grass doesnt get bad but the weeds will be halfway to knee height. In turn it takes much longer to cut not to mention the drive time and hauling a mower back and forth.

Alion would be your best bet. It isn’t cheap, but is the best PRE on the market and is labeled for pecan, almonds, citrus, etc. It isn’t cheap, but does a great job.
If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them then someday you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them.
