Do you have a link to this tall fescue with 2-3' roots?

I've used a tall fescue called "crew cut" which is said to have up to 18
inches of root and 13 inches of mature hight. 3 foot... hmm, do I smell
a
fish story ..? lol

It might be a pasture fescue, would you plant that in
your lawn?
Tall Fescue was derived from a weed grass. You can find it in the Ortho
weed book.
Scotts has finally come out with a tall fescue, Rebel II is a label you'll
see, and I seem to recall a company named York having a product. You must
read the labels, looking for "tall fescue" only in the mix. Other fescues
won't help you.
