One of the great things about Arsenal is it can be sprayed right over young pines without harm. In fact, that was what the herbicide was designed for--reducing hardwood sapling competition in industrial pine plantations. It has since been improved to enhance forage production for wildlife while still providing the orginal benefit of helping pine production.
I would spray your young pine plantations in late summer/early fall (late September is best) the second year after they are planted.
Thanks, the main thing I am concerned about with my pine planting is access to the pines for spraying. The guy who plants them will plant them without having to move treetops. Then you have stumps scattered around, etc... Not sure what I would do?
Use a back-pack sprayer and spray by hand. A lot of work, but I think you would be pleased with the results.
