Narrative
Attractive, medium-dark-green, persistent, medium-low-growing, turf-type tall fescue with medium-fine leaf blades. Excellent record of performance in the NTEP turf trials established in 1996 and evaluated at 28 locations throughout the U.S. Ranked first in 1997 and second in 1998 in mean turfgrass quality of the 129 tall fescue cultivars evaluated in the 27 tests growing in full sun. Also performed well in a shade trial in Mississippi and under traffic stress at Mead, NE. Did well at varying nitrogen fertility regimes, different mowing heights, and various irrigation levels tested. Showed good performance in the cool-humid, cool-arid, and transition zones of the U.S.
