Narrative
Low growing and dark color. Smaller stolon nodes and leaf measurements than Texoka, which results in a turf of finer texture. Pubescent leaves are a distinguishing characteristic. Size of female flowers is similar to other varieties. Nearly 100% female. Determined to have a nuclear DNA content of 2.58-0.02 picograms DNA per nucleus. Color gray-blue-green. Improved turfgrass quality compared to older, forage type buffalograsses like Texoka and to turf varieties 315, 378, 609 and Prairie. Exhibited superior quality when mowed at heights as low as 1.6cm. Moderate rate of establishment. As a typical northern-adapted cultivar, enters winter dormancy early in fall.
