Bermuda:
Tifway
is characterized as having a dark green color and leaves that are
medium fine textured. Tifway hybrid bermuda grass
is dense with a medium to low growth habit. This variety is a vigorous
grower and thus establishes quickly at planting.
Tifway is commonly used on golf course fairways and tees, sport
fields, in the landscape, and other high use and visible surfaces
in warm climates. |
