Weed Control in Bermuda/Tiffway With 150 Trees: Trimec With Extreme Caution

Trimec (2,4-D + MCPP + dicamba) controls broadleaf weeds in Bermuda but drifts kill trees. Oaks, pecans, pines — especially 18-month saplings — are highly vulnerable. Use lowest rate, calm days, shielded sprayer. Or spot-treat only. No product kills grassy weeds in Bermuda without harming Bermuda.
