quote:If you guys haven't already noticed, I love ID threads. I have never, to my knowledge, seen torpedo grass, so I yield to those hear who have. Still, I can't make your pics look like the pics of torpedo I have found. How do the plants connect to one another, if at all? When you pull it, do you ever end up wit hthis type structure?
I'm really hoping it isn't the torpedo grass because it seems like that stuff is hard to get rid of completely,
Another grass I've never seen is Signal, but some of the pics sure look like yours,

yall just need to squint. It looks just like St Augustine if you blur your eyes up real good.

That's why I said the second set of pics was Torpedograss... The first set didn't strike me as torpedo. shite gets tricky, for sure. Dr Strahan at the AgCenter probably hates me because I email him so much for weed ID

Some grass makes rhizomes, which are root structures you can't easily kill, etc. Johnson grass is another rhizome grass, Bermuda probably is, too.

the top pic is definitely Torpedo grass. the bottom 2 are not. been fighting Torpedo for 25 years. the only way is to dig it out from the root when it first appears in your lawn. I think having a lawn service just spreads this crap everywhere
