Weeds at the Bottom of trees

I have two apple trees and a plum tree on the allotment I recently took over. They are surrounded by grass, weeds and the dreaded horseradish. Is there a weed killer I can use safely without ruining the fruit?

Sorry, I don't know of any.
Not wanting to hijack the thread, but I have an apple with ground elder under. I asked a pro gardener if I could use round-up on it, he said maybe but did caution me that apple trees could be fragile, and prefered the idea of me digging it out.
I'm not sure if root systems touch at all, or it poses a risk to health etc.
