Crossbow is triclopyr plus 2,4-D. Triclopyr is a very effective systemic for woody plants. Roundup, while a broad spectrum herbicide, seems most effective on grasses, but may have some effect on woody plants at high concentrations. At the nursery to control guava we use Remedy which is pure triclopyr. Paint or spray stumps and bark immediately after cutting the guava. More concentration is undoubtedly better, but gets expensive when applying the straight product. We usually spray at the usual 1.5-2% dilution for economy, and it's generally pretty effective, but we always expect to revisit looking for any sprouts from the stump or adjacent roots.
