Re: What type of weed / Grass is growing in my tall fescue

Hi @jamgg,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

 

What you are looking at is Winter Grass aka Poa Annua. Unfortunately, because it is a cool season grass that is very similar to Tall Fescue, all of the products I am aware of for treating it can't be used on Tall Fescue. 

 

There may be specialty products that can be applied to Tall Fescue to manage it, but I am not aware of them.

 

It is likely your best option is going to be manual removal. You could use a Cyclone Extract Weeder to reduce the strain on your back while removing it.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Jacob
