  -> weed trees

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: This is correct. The question seems to be about woody vegetation, as opposed to herbaceous. There are special, tougher herbicides for this. (Lidia apparently doesn't know the meaning of 'brush'.)

agree  Douglas Bissell: a bush is a planr; chemicals that kill planbrs are called herbicides. Just say herbicides (aimed at bushes or whatever) it's still a herbicide.

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: The question appears to refer to shrubs/brush only. Herbicides are typically used for herbaceous plants, although there are special kinds for shrubs and brush.
