Grassy weed invasion

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

I live in NC with a newly seeded last fall tall fescue lawn. This spring I noticed a tall grassy weed coming up in my ditch and didn't think anything about it. Now it's covered all over my new front lawn in spots. I need help to identify and get rid of it.

It grows twice as fast as my tall fescue and is light green compared to the fescue. It also grows in upright oval stalks. I think it could be poa triv or quack grass?

wont let me upload pictures either but will try later
