2,4-D is the herbicide of choice by the Bank's neighbor to control dandelion. But what formulation would you choise.

 
Oh, not the wisest choice. The ester formulation is more volatile than the amine formulation. This formulation can volatilize and move to the bank's property, injuring that beautiful tree of theirs.

Many trees and broadleaf plants are sensitive to growth regulators such as 2,4-D. Desired trees and plants can show strapped and puckered leaves due to exposure of growth regulator herbicides.

It is illegal to drift onto another person's property. Damaging that 100-year old oak can lead to law suit.
