New Bermudagrass Cultivar Planted at OCGC

Last week we were given a sample of new LATITUDE 36 Bermudagrass.  This grass was developed by Oklahoma State University.  It is the latest offshoot of Patriot Bermudagrass, which is used at Glen Riddle Man O War, Nutters Crossing  and Hog Neck.  This cultivar seems to be finer bladed and matches up very well with our existing Midlawn.  Latitude 36 is expected to be much more cold tolerant than currently available bermudagrasses.  This cultivar also is more shade tolerant.  We look to build on our Newport success this season and plug this cultivar in after some selected tree removal this winter.  You can look at the new grass on #5 Newport, marked with a green circle.
