Features of Palmetto Grass That Make It So Popular

The people of Australia are particularly possessive about greenery in the property and this habit has made different kinds of turfs immensely popular all over the country. Out of all of them, the most popular is the palmetto buffalo grass because of the features that it has got. It is because of these features that this breed of turf has attained unprecedented popularity all over the globe. 

The first answer to this question is its ability to hold its colour successfully throughout the winter season. It has been researched that as compared to other turfs present in Australia, this one holds its colour better and stays greener for a longer period of time. 

Another interesting feature is that this turf has a really fast growth irrespective of the type or quality of the soil. In other words, the runners are really fast and highly branching, thereby giving this turf this feature of having an excellent growth rate. At the same time, because of this growth rate, you will observe that this turf also has really fast recovery properties as well. In fact, palmetto buffalo grass is known more as a really tough and hard-wearing lawn.

Some turfs that are also aggressive growers require mowing on a frequent basis, but this is not the case with palmetto. The reason is the slow growth rate of the upward leaf and because of this; mowing related requirements are not as frequent as others. In the presence of less mowing too, what you get to enjoy is a soft, rich, lush green lawn.

The immunity of palmetto is much superior to other kinds of turfs and because of this feature; you will find this turf giving a high quality fight to weeds and pest attack as well. With the help of this immunity and timely maintenance, you can enjoy a lush green lawn outside your property throughout the year.
