Incorrect. There is a chance of injury to nearby susceptible trees, albeit slight. I have seen it several times with imazapyr, picloram, Velpar, Milestone, and Method. It doesn’t happen often and you are correct it is very safe, but it can’t be said there is no risk.


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.
