Gary,

I was reading Janice's post about cheat grass overtaking the native
grasses in Idaho due to overgrazing. We had the same problem in
Colorado. Does anyone know where cheat grass came from? Is it
indigenous to North America?

The scientific name is Bromus tectorum.
AFAIK, it originally comes from Central Europe. At least i read that it's
indigenous to Germany....

Best wishes
Gaby
