What is this??

Looks like broom sage . Most usually you will need to apply lime.

 

What are your phosphate levels. If they are low, broom sage will grow

 

Apply lime and it will go away. Do your spring soil samples and they will tell you how much you need.

 

Yup broom sage is all over my poor soil areas.

 

Agree it’s broomsage.


Plots with the right lime are insanely more attractive to deer

 

Could be little bluestem. I can't tell the difference and I have 2 acres of little blue

 

Someone recently told me deer that eat sage taste terrible and not to eat meat in areas that its prolific. Any truth to this?

 

Different sage, but yes.

 

Should make decent breakfast sausage at least lol.

 

My Loved One grows and cooks with the stuff (sage) I usually pull the spruce tree branches out of my food but I may not taste very good.

Contrary to our Kentucky dialect, broomsedge is just that, sedge. Not sage

 

Out west sage is a aromatic plant that does effect meat but I must say I love those speed goats raised on it!
