Roundup Can Be Used Safely Around Trees.

We will feature some questions we get from customers periodically. I think the answers will better help you manage your outdoor living spaces.

Q. I have several fruit trees (apricot and plum) which have meadow grass in their wells and around them.  The grass is a wide bladed variety that had an extensive root system including rhizomes.  Can I safely spray roundup on the grass without harming the trees?  This assuming that I cover the trunk and canopy from overspray.  Does the Roundup end up in the ground only to harm the trees roots?
