Introducing – Augusta® Zoysia Lawn … the finest lawn of choice
TurfBreed is proud to present Augusta® Zoysia Lawn – a solid performing Zoysia matrella that offers exceptional fine-leaf, drought and shade tolerance combined with low maintenance.
According to TurfBreed’s Managing Director, Steve Burt … “this is an opportunity for TurfBreed growers to add Augusta® Zoysia Lawn as a premium variety into their customer offering with a recommended retail price of $22 to $26 per meter, providing a high return on investment for participating growers”.
“Augusta® Zoysia Lawn is equal to anything currently available on the market, this grower and consumer friendly deep green coloured grass creates a compact smart looking lawn that suits any environment – from residential, parklands and golf courses,” Steve said.
A fine unique leaf-blade with vertical posture, Augusta® Zoysia Lawn offers a soft to touch and underfoot feel – great for families and lovers of lawn.
When growing within parklands and around trees Augusta® Zoysia Lawn has the unique habit of growing entirely under the trees canopy and up to the trunk. It’s growth habit limits the normal competition between grass roots and tree feeder roots.
Augusta® Zoysia Lawn’s extensive root system, high stolon frequency and vigorous rhizome growth, produces thick compact turf that recovers quickly from injury and will consistently establish in a wide variety of soil types.
Augusta® Zoysia Lawn’s deep root system also means it is an efficient water user and exceptionally suitable for drought prone regions and an ideal choice for areas with low rainfall or council water restrictions.
Augusta® Zoysia Lawn also prides itself on having higher disease and insect resistance compared to many other warm season grasses.
Steve concluded that “… currently available in south-east Queensland – Augusta® Zoysia Lawn promised growers a premium Zoysia with features that suit any climate and demographic”.
