DESCRIPTION:
Wild oat, a winter annual, has seedlings with hairy foliage, like hare barley. However,
wild oat keeps the seed from which it is growing for a long time. Mature
wild oat plants are easily distinguished by their open panicled, nodding
inflorescence. Wild oat has a tall, pointed ligule with toothed margins and
no auricles. The sturdy, mature plant is 1 to 4 feet (30 - 120 cm) tall.
Leaf blades generally have hairy margins.
