A weedy species on the increase in ACT. Out of its climate zone. Is this a sign of global warming

Hi Mervyn
Do you have a photo to upload.
I've lived in Canberra since 1964. We had a lawn back then in Ainslie which was mostly Paspalum.

Hi Michael, There were two photos attached wonder where they went. I also notice I had put this in at an earlier time. Interesting about your lawn. It is just that I have noticed its frequency increasing in natural areas. I work with paspalum at Sydney University in the 50's. It was an aggressive invader and dominated the dairy industry but was mostly prevalent north of Illawarra.
