Narrative
Chance F1 hybrid between C. transvaalensis and C. dactylon in lot of C. transvaalensis seed received from D. Meredith, Johannesburg, Union of South Africa, in 1954. Darker green, greater frost resistance, earlier spring growth, greater resistance to sod webworm and mole cricket, better herbicide tolerance, and stiffer leaf blades than Tifline or Tifgreen. Sheds no pollen to annoy hay fever victims. Well suited for fine lawns, fairways, and tees. Must be propagated vegetatively. Released - 1960, cooperatively by Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station and Plant Science Research Division, ARS.
