Eliminating blackberries #889925

Asked November 16, 2024, 4:03 PM EST

Can I spray blackberries this time of year (November 2024). Do cold temperatures make a difference ? They still have leaves.

Benton County Oregon

Expert Response

You should read the directions on the herbicide you want to use, for temperature information. If the plants still have leaves, you might still be able to spray, but it is getting rather late. Cold temperatures do make a difference in the effectiveness of herbicides.
You'll want to make sure there is a sufficient dry spell not to wash it off. That could be very difficult this week!
