I've been to a weeds day, got a coloured sheet handout, all the stuff, and I'm still scratching my head. Nearest thing I can find in it is that the serrated tussock has purple bases. Haven't found any of those yet, but there's some things near the trees that develop long seed fronds in summer. thing is I don't want to be ripping out good grass mistakenly thinking it's serrated tussock. Maybe I should volunteer my place for the next weed day. Looking at the site though, all the big stuff down near the trees may well be serrated tussock.Great! Take a look at http://www.weeds.crc.org.au/document...ed_tussock.pdf They refer to the Tasmanian DPI's checklist for identifying ST and that states that " "The leaf cases are more tightly packed and more slender than other tussocks and are a whitish colour - never purplr or blue-green" argh. they say never purple, but hte previous site said the fluffy seed-mess is purple! It isn't a full on purple people eater type purple, more a tinge of purple if you look at it side on and get a good lot of it to see at one time - Autumn is the best tiem for this. I could send you a sample if you'd like :-)) |
