Re: Invasion of the Lilacs
Jeanne,
I happened to catch a radio broadcast just recently and one of the guest
speakers was a garden chemical rep...
What he said was that Finale(no I dont have any interests)was intended for just
this sort of application..According to him this product will take care of the
suckers without killing the mother plant..This trait/purpose was not well
understood by the general public,upon introduction (it was touted as a Round-up
type chemical)which led to some dis-satisfaction since it apparently does not
have the same full systemic abilities and/or method .
Anyway even I am encouraged as I/we all seen to encounter this problem at
sometime..NOW if it just works as described.
Just thought you'd like to know.
