    Is This Spray Damage?

    Down here in the wet, hot, humid south, a regular spray cycle is almost required. I have noticed after I spray, the herbicide collects on the tips of the leaves and remains for some time. Is the herbicide burning the tips of these leaves. Liberty apple.

    What is the Fix For This?

    I have 5000 miles on my Polaris ranger and today was the first time I have ever had to use the winch because I got stuck.
