Fairly large, ragged bunchgrass that was introduced from Africa for cattle forage. Linear leaves are brown in winter and green in summer, when it produces tan to brown seed heads containing many small bristles. These heads produce large numbers of wind-dispersed seeds, which establish easily on roadsides, vacant lots, alleys, and even in remote places. Dense buffelgrass colonies exclude other species and are difficult to eradicate. The plants reduce the space available for our native species and compete with them for scarce water and nutrients.
Used for grazing and erosion control. Favors alkaline soils and resistance to fire, drought, and grazing. Adapted south of San Antonio, Texas.
