Each shoot bears leaves that appear to emerge directly from the ground. Only by digging into the turf can one see the roots and stem-like structures connected to these shoots. New shoots soon repopulate areas injured by pests and other adversities. Explorations into the turf using a knife or probe reveal much more than can be observed from the surface.
Roots typically reside within the upper few inches of soil.
A series of larger, stem-like structures may be seen as well. The number and length of these organs can vary from site to site. All Rights Reserved.
