Preventing Privet Seeds From Germinating
Q: Will preemergent applied in March prevent privet seeds from germinating?
A: Unfortunately, no. Weed preventer chemicals are pretty good at preventing small seeds from developing into larger plants but they rarely affect the growth of large seeds. Privet seeds, the size of BB’s, are not controlled by pre-emergent products.
