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.

You don't have to tell me what turf type tall fescue is. So I
ask you again..Do you have a link to this tall fescue with
2-3' roots?
