Treflan pre-emergent

Unless I’m mistaken, it’s the same active ingredient as PREEN…(trifluralin)…the yellow tubs at the ‘big box’ stores in the garden department.

I don’t always read and follow labels…so you’ll have to read and use your best judgment.

But, I have used PREEN on just about everything from Black-eyed-susans
to cherry and apple and maple and holly trees…

In my 22+ years, I don’t think I’ve killed anything by using it. (But I don’t guarantee you won’t).

What it will do is keep about 99% of weed seeds from sprouting…that still means a few dandelions and other things in your flower beds or orchard will sprout.

If you have flowers (or vegetables) that ‘volunteer’, or if you plan to sow seeds intentionally in a given area be they flowers, veggies, or other seeds, this herbicide does not discriminate. Your seeds won’t germinate.
It does, after about 3 months, lose it’s effectiveness, however!

Hope you find that helpful.
