Rhizomatous Tall Fescue
Rhizomatous Tall Fescue (RTF®) is an advanced generation of turf-type tall fescue which produces rhizomes. A rhizome is an underground stem that penetrates laterally through the soil to spread the plant. Rhizomes send shoots up to the soil surface while extending new roots downward, forming a new plant. The rhizomatous nature of RTF® is similar to Kentucky bluegrass. However, unlike Kentucky bluegrass RTF® will survive the transition zone climate and other tall fescue turf regions.
Features & Benefits
Self-repairing turf ● Quickly fill in damaged or open spots with new shoots of grass. ● High level of traffic tolerance. ● A dense turf without open areas prevents weed growth
Strong, deep root system and drought tolerance ● Rapid development of a deep root system. ● Excellent drought and heat tolerance with less irrigation. ● Adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions.
Grows great in sun or shade ● Excellent in the transition zone climate and other tall fescue fescue turf regions. ● Will not brown out in the intense summer heat. ● One of the most shade tolerant cool season grasses.
Excellent color and density ● Has fine leaves which produce a very dense, uniform turf. ● Early spring green-up. ● Withstands stressful hot temperatures and keep its rich green color.
Excellent insect and disease resistance ● Endophyte enhanced for improved insect, disease and drought tolerance. ● Environmentally friendly, reduces chemical and fertilizer inputs.
Improved value for the turf professional ● RTF® sod requires less overseeding, has fewer weed problems and prevent "wide-leafed ugly clumps" of tall fescue plants which are common in other tall fescue turf. ● Young plants first build the root and shoot system then concentrate on producing rhizomes. With RTF® sod, the rhizomes are already developed. ● RTF® sod, with the aid of rhizomes anchors itself faster, water requirements are reduced and turf can be utilized sooner.
