TifTuf Bermuda grass has taken the world by storm, highly prized for its beauty, durability, and it’s relatively low maintenance. This world leading hybrid Bermuda grass is the result of 25 years of research and selective breeding by turf experts at the University of Georgia. Now it’s enjoyed across Australia in backyards, sports fields, and all kinds of green spaces. Here’s why the team at StrathAyr (and our customers) love TifTuf grass.
Beautiful Appearance
A fine leaf blade, deep green colour, and dense growth all work together to produce a truly stunning soft leaf grass that is just as pleasant to walk on as it is to look at. TifTuf lawn is a versatile and fantastic looking all-round option that you can count on to retain a good colour through summer, while using less water than other varieties.
Wear Resistance
TifTuf grass is perfect for high wear situations. This wear and tear resistance is an important quality for Australian lawn. Backyards, parks, and sports grounds all take a hammering from constant use and harsh weather conditions.
TifTuf grass features an upright blade growth, contributing to an attractive appearance, as well as helping it to recover quickly from wear and tear. Its resilience makes TifTuf grass a great choice for high impact sports with minimal maintenance required.
Drought Resistance
TifTuf turf was scientifically developed to produce dense grass that can thrive even with excessive sun exposure and dry, hot conditions. This density enables it to withstand and recover quickly from drought conditions. TifTuf turf is one of the most sun and drought tolerant grass varieties available, even outperforming other tough warm season grass species like the Sir Walter.
Shade and Frost Tolerance
Coping with frost and shade is as important as drought tolerance for a thriving lawn in areas like in Victoria. While it does go into a dormancy period during the winter, its dormancy period is shorter, and it does retain a better appearance over the winter months compared to other warm season varieties.
