Tallow trees actually invasive to South Texas wetlands

Body
Dear Neil: I am trying to remove lawn grass from a part of my yard. There are three large, old crape myrtles in that area, and they have extensive root systems. In removing the grass, I have damaged their roots and now I’m getting numerous sprouts coming up all over the place. I don’t want to hurt other plants nearby (including the three mother crape myrtles). Is there anything such as Roundup that I can apply to the sprouts to kill them without harming the desirable plants?
