Bermuda Certified Grasses
CELEBRATION ™ - Celebration™ bermudagrass is selection of bermudagrass chosen specifically for its dark blue-green color, drought tolerance, light-moderate shade tolerance, and reduced production costs. It is similar to Tifway 419, yet it grows vertically at a slower rate. Due to this prostrate growth habit, Celebration™ requires less mowing.
TIFDWARF - Tifdwarf bermuda grass, superior for golf greens, has been equal or superior to Tifgreen on nearly every score. Its leaves hug the ground so closely that a number of them are never cut by the greens mower. This characteristic helps to tolerate a 3/16" cutting height much better than Tifgreen. Its softer leaves and fewer seed heads also contribute to its superior putting qualities. Tifdwarf has a darker green color than Tifgreen and requires less fertilizer to make a comparable degree of greenness. Its basic purple plant color that helps to keep it looking dark green in the summer time becomes very noticeable when temperatures drop in the fall.
TIFEAGLE - (Licensed by USDA/UGA.) TifEagle is a sterile, medium green, finer textured, triploid bermuda grass for golf greens. This variety performs better than most dwarfs at a 1/8" cutting height according to collected data. It has good growth and reduced purpling in cool weather. Observations indicate that TifEagle may have mole cricket non-preference. TifEagle was developed by USDA/ARS and may be produced and sold by licensed producers only. Available only as a certified grass. Patented.
TIFSPORT™ - TifSport™ is a new, improved triploid hybrid with Midiron cold hardiness and Tifway texture and color. TifSport™ has superior cold hardiness when compared to other available fine leaf turfgrasses. It is genetically uniform, tolerant to common herbicides, and provides a high density grass when mowed at ½ inch. The variety has shown mole cricket non-preference in side by side comparisons to Tifway. TifSport™ is licensed by USDA/UGA. May be only sold by licensed producers and is available only as a certified grass. Patented.
