Vine mesquite

Panicum obtusum

Warm season, spreading perennial. Occurs abundantly in heavy soils or low-lying areas from 1,000-6,000 ft. elevation. Good soil binder due to strong stoloniferous growth habit. Often found in dense stands along waterways, floodplains or depressions where water accumulates. Palatable to all livestock but utilized best when grazed early or when more palatable grasses are not present.
