  • Question

    Do you know what kind of grass this would be? It was growing in Martin Burns WMA on the side of a gravel road right next to a slope. Thank you!

    Answer

    Dear Nicolas, good morning. The grass you've photographed looks like Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem). This is a very common native grass of dry, well-drained soils (such as sandy fields, roadsides, grasslands, etc.). Best wishes.
