  • Question

    I have a lot of this grass coming up uninvited out of loam that was spread in April. None of it has any flower or seed yet. It ranges 40-90 cm tall as of late July, mostly near the short end. I might have two similar species because some had a less developed root system than this one. I live in eastern Massachusetts but I expect it's a common weed species that could come up anywhere. The loam also had lots of crabgrass seeds and some of the weedy Polygonaceae.

    Answer

    jfc, sorry, I can't help yet. I will need to see flowers to help you with an identification. Please send images when it does produce spikelets and I will try to assist.
