Narrative
Has dark green genetic color, good winter color, and good turf quality at close mowing (25 mm or lower), intermediate (25 - 50 mm - at which it was the top-ranking entry in NTEP trials), and higher (greater than 50 mm) mowing heights. In overall turf quality it performs well in the Northeastern, Midwest, Great Plains, Mountain West, and Transition Zone regions, where it ranked among the top two entries in NTEP trials. Has good shoot density during spring, summer, and autumn, a fine leaf texture, relative freedom from seedhead expression in mowed turf, good tolerance of traffic stress, and good sod strength. Resistant to leaf spot, typhula blight, red thread, brown patch, and annual bluegrass encroachment, at which it was the highest ranking entry in NTEP trials.
