Why is wheat not suitable for lawns?
In: 3
Both are grass, but their purposes are different. We breed them to select the best suited versions according to our desires.
Wheat grows that long and hard straw. It’s purpose is to produce food, and people are breeding it to maximize the output of grain. The robust straw helps with that, growing a taller plant that can reach out for sun and air more efficiently.
Lawn grass has other uses, and breeding has other goals. It looks more or less the same over the course of the year. It’s short, soft yet robust, grows thick etc.
