Eureka Kikuyu PBR vs. Other Kikuyu Strains in Australia

If you’re looking for a grass variety that can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use, thrive in dry conditions and grow back quickly to cover bare spots, StrathAyr may have the perfect option for you! Kikuyu turf is famous for its deep, stable roots and hardiness, making it popular in Australia and New Zealand.

However, it is a grass that can lose its colour quickly and catch mould. In order to rectify these issues, a type of grass called Eureka Kikuyu PBR was developed to suit the needs of residential and commercial customers in Australia. If you’re looking for expert advice on how to install Kikuyu grass in your backyard, contact us today.

What is Common Kikuyu Grass? 

Originating in Eastern Africa, where its high heat resistance and hardiness made it ideal for grazing herds of livestock, common Kikuyu grass is a strain of grass that spreads aggressively and is sometimes considered an invasive species.

What is Eureka Kikuyu PBR? 

Eureka Kikuyu PBR is a specially developed strain of Kikuyu grass that addresses the problems posed by other Kikuyu turf varieties. It is a high–quality grass that outperforms other Kikuyu strains in every way.

Eureka Kikuyu PBR is stronger, offers better tensile strength and grows back faster than older Kikuyu varieties. Because it is cheaper to maintain, it is a popular choice for sports fields and public parks where high-impact activities damage turf on a regular basis. As well as being stronger, it is also less prone to discolouration and slime mould.
