Tifway is characterized as having a dark green color and
leaves that are medium fine textured. Tifway hybrid bermudagrass
is dense with a medium to low growth habit. This variety is
a vigorous grower and thus establishes quickly at planting.
Tifway is commonly used on golf course fairways and tees,
sport fields, in the landscape and other high use and visible
surfaces in warm climates.
Characteristics
- grows best in hot climates and may become dormant after
frost but recovers quickly when temperatures warm
- drought tolerant
- provides the fast recuperative rates from traffic and
wear with proper maintenance
- exhibits dense growth, when properly maintained, competes
with the presence of many turf weeds
- demonstrates tolerance or quick recovery from pest damage
with proper maintenance
- can tolerate relatively high soil and water salt concentrations
- grows best when soil pH is between 6.5 and 7.2.
- propagated as sprigs (rhizomes, stolons and stems) or
as sod.
- Can be installed when
sod is dormant
