Yes always. It just seemed liked it killed everything I hit but did not kill the whole vine. Glyphosate and crossbow are my 2 most common herbicides I use down there. I am gonna try a heavy dose crossbow next time

How much diesel would you mix per gallon crossbow and water? Is it that much more effective?
Old label used to say 4% crossbow 96% diesel
I think new label is a little more environmentally friendly but it works. If you don't want to use diesel as the carrier MSO works with water pretty good I might throw in Triclopyr.

Anecdotally, I wouldn’t be too beat up about having to re-apply every few weeks for a few seasons—I’ve sprayed my Virginia Creeper twice now this year (second spray a little while ago) and it’s juuuuust starting to look like I got it under control…… until next year.
Plenty of weeds out there take the better of a half decade of intense management to be rid of.

If you're applying during the growing season all you're doing is burning off foliage. Crossbow in the fall a couple weeks prior to first expected frost will get some to the roots. May take a few seasons to get under control though.
