MORE or LESS
Tahoma 31 bermudagarass has characteristics that offer significantly MORE benefits and LESS inferior traits than other grasses. Perfect for elite sports surfaces, golf courses (mow to greens height) and manicured to low-care home lawns.
More Climate-Adaptable
Tahoma 31 thrives in more variable climate conditions from the tropics to cool temperate regions and is more freeze-tolerant than any other Bermuda or Couch grass currently available in the market.*
More Drought-Tolerant
Tahoma 31 consistently ranks in the lowest group for Evapotranspiration (ET or water-use) in turf trials* and with less water-use makes it one of the most drought-tolerant turf types available in Australia.
More Shade-Tolerant
Tahoma 31 was rated #1 in turf quality among major commercially available Bermedagrass cultivars in shade trials up to 63% shade (*2018 -19 trials). It performs well in full sun to high dappled shade areas.
More Wear-Tolerant
Tahoma 31 rated #1 under traffic trials* and exhibits excellent traffic, wear-tolerance and divot repair compared to other Bermuda or Couch grasses. It is hardy and deep-rooted with fast establisment on most sites.
More FREEZE TOLERANT
Tahoma 31 is more freeze-tolerant than any other Bermuda or Couch grass currently available in the market with only 4% winter kill during US trials.*
More BEAUTIFUL
Tahoma 31 forms an attractive dark-green, fine-leaf surface, suitable for home lawns, recreational landscapes, golf and sportsturf scenarios.

LESS HEIGHT
Tahoma 31 has significantly less vertical growth, thatch-rates and lower mowing heights than other commercially available Bermuda or Couch grasses. It can be mown at Greens Height (3mm / 0.125″) through to 50mm / 2″ with high density and appearance throughout.
LESS SEEDHEADS
Once established, Tahoma 31 show far less seedheads (infloresences), and far less stalk (peduncle) of the inflorescence stem that other similar grasses.
Less Life-Cycle Costs
Significant savings can be made with less inputs; including less mowing, water, fertiliser and pesticides than other comparable grasses.

Height
Tahoma 31 has a significantly less vertical growth and lower mowing heights than other commercially available bermuda- or couchgrasses. It can be mown at greens height (3 mm/0.125″) through to 50 mm/2″ with high density and appearance throughout.
Less
Maintenance
With a smaller growing height Tahoma 31 requires far less mowing and has a much faster scalp-recovery compared to similar grasses even with a rotary mower!
Less
Thatch
Tahoma 31 displays significantly less thatch-rates! Recent US thatch trials show that Tahoma 31 is one of the lowest thatch-producing varieties in greens trials.
Less
Inputs
Lower growth rates means less inputs required to keep your Tahoma 31 surface in peak condition, including less water, fertiliser and pesticides than other comparable hybrid couchgrass types.
