Gem Granules Residual Weed Killer 1kg - Full Description

Gem Granules is a granular residual herbicide that can be applied around trees, shrubs and ornamental plantings in order to deliver long-lasting weed control against grasses and broad-leaved weeds. It is best to apply Gem Granules between October & January when conditions are cooler. This will control many of the weeds which are present at the time and also deliver long-lasting control of germinating weeds.

Gem Granules are the standard treatment when controlling weeds around Christmas trees as it does not harm the tree and offers long lasting control. Use this product with the Gem Granule Applicator for even coverage. Gem Granules are a more cost effective alternative to the main brand, Kerb Granules.

To view the full list of controllable weeds, and the range of trees & ornamentals it is safe to use around, please download the product label.

If you require a bigger pack size then please look at Gem Granules 5kg.
