Re: Free reed rush!

Hi,

My reed rush comes from the left side of the 2nd fairway on a golf course in Bowling Green, OH (about 150 yards from the hole). The soil there is very sandy and moist which seems to be what Equisetum hyemale needs. There are lots of similar areas on nearby Lake Erie beaches. The sanding ability is probably due to a high concentration of very small silica/sand particles in the surface layer of the plant.

Here is a good link for information on this interesting plant. Note the last sentence of the page.
