Thanks. 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 :-))
