It takes 3 weeks. Clover, violets, poison ivy and creeping Charlie can be killed with 1 tablespoon (15 mls) in a gallon of water spot sprayed onto the leaves. Hot dry weather is not favorable since the plants don't grow as rapidly. As near as I can tell, triclopyr does not volatility like 2,4 D. My tomatoes did not wrinkle.

We have had issues with Trees to Heaven and it's runners. This product has been an absolute blessing.

I had been doing a lot of research to try to solve my lawn problem, which is that I have a zoysia lawn that has been invaded by lots of unwanted grasses and weeds, especially bermuda grass (since that's so hard to get rid of). Proper use of selective herbicides is very sensitive to dosage, and after doing research, coming up with a mix, and trying it, I can say I've had great success.

If you have this problem too, you've likely come across some research saying to use a mix of fusilade II and triclopyr. The surprising thing about this combo is that pure fusilade by itself may harm zoysia, but adding triclopyr (which by itself is a pretty strong herbicide) supposedly has some protective effect for zoysia. I don't know enough chemistry and plant biology to know exactly why this is true, but figured it was worth a shot.

The issue for me was I was seeing online lots of varying information about quantity/concentration and ratio between the two. The confusing thing about many herbicides is the application directions typically are stated in terms of how many ounces to use per acre, which makes sense for agriculture, since they use large sprayers and have a pretty good sense of how much coverage they get per acre. But for a homeowner with lawn application, the question in one's mind is really: how much of this should I add to a 1 or 2 gallon handheld sprayer to a get an appropriate concentration?

Across some info online, I found pretty large variations in both total concentration and ratio of the two, so I kind of averaged those out, went with a conservative concentration, and went with a lower ratio of triclopyr-to-fusilade. Below is my recipe for making 1 gallon:

-15ml Triclopyr
-5ml Fusilade II
-5ml surfactant
-splash of blue spray colorant (so you can see where you've sprayed)
-gallon of water

(I prefer metric measurement, and the dispensers on the bottles have markings in both ml and fluid ounces.)

So this is a 3:1 ratio of T:F, while some recipes I came across online were greater than a 5:1 ratio. I have not done enough testing to say if this is "optimal" or not, but I can say two things about this mix: 1) my zoysia seems completely unharmed by this, and 2) it does a great job of killing bermuda and other lawn nuisances. Note it might take a week or two to see the results, so be patient. Be careful of overspray and never spray when it's windy, this could accidentally harm or kill other things you want (bushes, trees, flowers, etc.).

Used 2oz to 1 agallon water 1oz dawn soap in hand held sprayer worked great on 3 inch tree of heaven but also kill my grass around them maybe try a different mix nexted time use on hottest time of day

Only stuff that actually kills wild violet. It also killed a bunch of my grass, so not perfect, but at least the violet is gone.
