looks like goose grass.

Anybody else???
At first I thought it was some sort of sedge. But, now I am leaning toward tall fescue. I am in Northwest Florida and didn't think fescue would live here, IDK. The yard was overseeded with Rye last winter and I am thinking some other seed was mixed in.

Definitely not a sedge. It doesn't really look like goose grass either. When it is in the ground do the shoots start off white and spread horizontal and not vertical? That is what the goose grass up here looks like. If it was overseeded with rye it might be dallas or johnson grass. It might be easier to identify if we could see it still in the ground. Hope this helps!

This is unbelievable that I found this post. I purchased a property with 2/12 acres last year that has been poorly maintained and had all kinds of weeds to deal with.

I initially dug out what I could and over seeded with Rye I bought from a Garden center. by the end of the year, I had this crap all over my yard.....it can grow up very tall or out like Crabgrass which is what I thouht it was. I actually posted a message here asking for pro's tips on clearing it.

I had the owner of the Garden center tell me it was indeed crabs grass and sold me a bunch of pre-emergent for this spring. I'll be ticked if it isn't an annual weed now.

Crabgrass typically has seed heads on a long stem and spreads on the ground more than growing straight up like the picture.

i think the one guy who said it was some sort of haygrass is close

it looks like a heavy rye, if you let that stalk grow it will give you that pom pom that looks like what goose grass seeds like (looks like a bottle brush)

does 2-4-d kill it?
