Weed/grass ID

Post by southern-ct-4 » April 19th, 2023, 8:20 am

Good morning. I assume this is just some random grass that I'll need to paint with glypho, but if you think it's a weed that I can instead spray with weed control please let me know. In some cases it's nearly a foot tall.

Thanks!

Based on the pictures, my initial thought is orchard grass. Which, unfortunately, is only controlled with non-selective herbicides like glyphosate. Some additional pictures may be able to definitively identify it. Can you get a close up of the leaf/stem to see if there are ligules? Maybe a picture of it in the lawn as well?

Thanks. If you click on and then zoom the 2nd picture you can see (I think) ligules.
