Narrative
Vigorous buffalograss similar to 609 but with improved winter hardiness. Exhibits stolon internodes similar to 315 and shorter than 609. Leaf measurements are like the other turf varieties and experimentals 315, 609, NE86-61, and Ne86-120, but smaller than Texoka. This results in a finer leaf texture than Texoka. Significantly less pubescence on nodes and leaves. Improved turf quality characteristics when compared to forage-type varieties, and is similar to other turf varieties. Much improved sod-forming ability when compared to other cultivars hardy in the northern part of the Great Plains. Exhibited excellent quality when mowed at heights as low as 1.6cm, similar to the height used on golf course fairways.
