Garden Weed Killer And Adjacent Trees....
13 Answers
I have a vigorous ivy which has been majorly cut back and I have a weed killer to treat the remaining stump. I am concerned though about using the solution as I have a young but established Apple Tree with a surface distance from the ivy of around five feet. I would only guess that both plants have roots possibly entwining. Would it therefore be unwise to carry out my planned action?

-TonyV, I have prior to posting this question drilled a 15 to 16mm hole in the ivy stump- (which is a multiple thick stump)
With the intention of either using the weed treatment OR rock salt which someone suggested? I’m really not sure- I’m thinking to try the salt as that might be a milder option less likely to damage the apple tree. The ivy is one of four I planted about 10/11 years ago at my regret!

TonyV, I used “Tree Stump Killer”.....that’s what’s on the packet containing 3 sachets. I bored about 5 holes in one ivy plant and 4 in the other. Poured in the solution and stuffed cotton pads in each one- impregnating with more solution and poked the pads all the way in with a screwdriver. Not sure how long I need to wait for results-if any. I’m guessing too that it depends on how the weather develops.
