Brief Description:
Tifgreen is a very dense, low-growing, fine textured turf. It produces lateral runners that require concrete borders for containment. Compared to other hybrid bermudas (such as Santa Ana and Tifway), Tifgreen has a finer texture and a slower growth rate. Because it produces thatch at a slower rate, it is considered to be the more suitable hybrid bermuda for residential use. Tifgreen has a dark green color during its growing season. However, like all warm-season grasses, it becomes dormant in the winter.
Areas of Best Adaptability:
Tifgreen adapts well to all of Southern California's varying soils and climates. Its most significant drawbacks are dormancy and thatching..
Winter Color:
Dormant
Mowing Height:
¼ to ½ inch in height, mowed weekly.
Thatch:
Moderate to fast build-up, depending on mowing height. Generally requires dethatching annually or bi-annually.. |
