Introducing tiftuf™ bermuda grass

Known for its drought tolerance and ability to maintain quality under drought stress, the new turf variety, TifTuf is setting a new standard for drought tolerant lawns and it’s now here in Australia. Once established, Tiftuf requires little to no irrigation even during a moderate drought or dry spell.

TifTuf™ Bermuda grass grown and supplied by Daleys Turf is the product of almost 25 years of research and development from one of the world’s leading turf breeders, the University of Georgia. TifTuf™ has been hand selected out of almost 30,000 different Bermuda varieties for displaying superior qualities in drought tolerance, shade tolerance (4-5 hours directly sunlight required daily), wear tolerance and winter colour while, at the same time, maintaining excellent turf quality. TifTuf™ has a very fine leaf blade with dense growth, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications. Its density enables it to handle high wear situations such as school playgrounds, backyards and sports fields. The fine blade ensures shade tolerance and a very soft leaf to walk and play on.
