Hi everyone,

I am brand new to this forum and it looks like this is a great community for gardening resources.

I have a planter in the rear of my backyard that has 3 young fruit trees (lemon, plum, and orange) that has filled up with what I can only describe as "devil grass". The area was treated with an herbicide and was just dirt but once I dug the holes for the fruit trees the dirt I turned up spread this grass throughout the entire planter (this is my best explanation for where the grass came from).

How I can get rid of the grass without harming the fruit trees? Can I just spray the grass with weed killer or is it more compicated than that?

Thanks,

Brian
