Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kill sprouting palm tree berries?
Treflan is used for the prevention of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in flowerbeds and container grown ornamental plants. Although palms are not specifically listed as species that are controlled by Treflan, there are research papers listing the active ingredient Trifluralin as a control for seeds which have not yet sprouted. If a seed has sprouted and emerged from the ground, the research lists triclopyr as an effective control agent. The below excerpt if from the University of Florida Blog at the following site:
Chemical Removal
“If the fruits have already fallen from the tree, and hand pulling is not an option for you, the use of a pre-emergent herbicide can prevent the seedlings from sprouting. The herbicide should contain trifluralin or oryzalin to be effective. Remember that preemergent herbicides will only work BEFORE the seedling starts growing! To kill seedlings that are already growing, use an herbicide that works on woody plants, with active ingredients such as triclopyr or picloram. Roundup (i.e., glyphosate) will NOT be effective on palm seedlings. Be sure to read any herbicide label in its entirety prior to applying the product. It’s the law! For questions, contact your local Extension office.”
