How should I apply Killzall Weed and Grass Killer - 41% Glyphosate to old, large poison ivy vines growing up trees with leaves in the tree's canopy?

I see where you told Brad from Los Lunas, New Mexico to be sure that you do not spray the bark directly and avoid any exposed roots on trees. I have old, large poison ivy vines growing up trees. Do you have any recommendations? All I can think of is a paintbrush to 'paint' the poison ivy vine, but I don't want to risk damaging trees. Most of the foliage is up in the tree's canopy so I don't have a chance of applying Killzall to them. Will 'painting' the vine kill the poison ivy?

Answer:

When using Killzall Weed and Grass Killer, it is not recommended that you use the product on a desirable plant or tree. You can spot treat the ivy in areas where they are, but the safest way will be to cut the ivy that is on the tree and spray the areas where ivy is elsewhere.
