[Pil-pc-oceania] nut grass - p ferguson

[len organicpc]

g'day,

yes that is it maybe this link might help:

http://www.hear.org/Pier/species/cyperus_rotundus.htm

& another

http://www.hear.org/pier/species/cyperus_esculentus.htm

one would think that there would be more descriptive info' about it around 
being the weed it is, if it grew as big as lantana i would get more 
atention.

waht makes it so bad is it can spread from seed head and from contaminated 
soil containing nuts, that can lay dormant and grow at any time. they have 
underground rhizomes from the main plant sending out multiple rhizomes in 
either direction then serious of developing nuts as the rhizome grows in 
length and each nut then sprouts but the mother plant lives on. heard of a 
case one time a nut was dug up 40 foor down under fill and it grew, true or 
false it is ver tenatious.



With peace and brightest of blessings,

len
