Kentucky Color: Sawbriar red, orange and black The next earlier Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge, Clinton and Wayne Co., KY hills as seen from Mark Parrish's yard on Sparksville RD, Adair County, KY Click on headline for full column plus photo By Billy Joe Fudge, President Homeplace on Green River, 6035 New Columbia RD, Campbellsville, KY Sawbriars grow low to the ground and they will also climb bushes, fence posts, etc. They are incredibly hard to kill and they tormented farmers of the past because cultivation seemed to just spur them on. They have a root system that can be as much as two feet deep in really good soils which is one of the reasons it is hard to control. I think you can just make out some of their world-class thorns in this picture. These babies can bring the blood through your socks and jeans so I would strongly protest taking a stroll through a field of Sawbriars clad only with flip-flops. Ankles can look like they have been in a fight with a steak knife after an encounter with a Sawbriar. The photo which accompanies has a little Foxtail, Chigger Weed (Queen Anne's Lace or Wild Carrot) and maybe even a little Rabbit Tobacco mixed in with the Sawbriars. -Billy Joe Fudge This story was posted on 2009-12-28 05:01:16
