Identification of serrated tussock
Serrated tussock is a Weed of National Significance (WONS). It is regarded as one of the worst weeds in Australia because of its invasiveness, potential for spread, and economic and environmental impacts. It can spread rapidly, invading pastures, native grasslands and urban areas, and already covers more than a million hectares across New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT. Find out more.
The Victorian Serrated Tussock Working Party (VSTWP) began in 1995 in response to the community’s deep concern with the spread of serrated tussock, and a strategy for the control of serrated tussock in Victoria was produced.
Serrated TussockA highly invasive tussock forming grass that is capable of growing in a range of climates and soil types.

This is a Seed Storm from 2025!
We want to avoid these at all cost, not only to reduce the spread of Tussock, but also the fire risk!
Control infestations now, and remove seed heads before they blow in the wind:

No sheep should be left eating just Serrated Tussock! 90 percent fibre and very low nutrients.
Control Tussock now!

Warning ⚠️
Don't let Serrated Tussock go to seed this Spring. We are expecting a massive seeding event earlier than usual this season, so now is the time to treat infestations!

We observed some Tussock along the Barwon River near Inverleigh, late last year.
The GOOD news, it's been treated! Great work by all involved.

Persistence and perseverance gets the job done! Stopping tussock from seeding each season prevents massive headaches down the track!
