    Default Redroot

    Private landowners:

    I'm sure some of you have some growing in impoundments or marshes.

    I'd like to get a few plants/tubers if anyone wouldn't mind.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    Do ducks eat redroot (sedge)? If so, what do they eat.....the roots? We have it in one of our ponds, but I've never seen ducks use it.

    what do they love about it? It looks like sawgrass or burreed.

    I could point you towards several different plants, but not redroot. Never heard of it until today...

    Eat the tubers...Most managers of redroot manage the field by burning ten discing the field to cop and expose the tubers.
    It as a very distinct pink/red color to it and an earthy/spicy taste.
    It grows best in peaty/organic soils along the coast.
    It's the tits!
