With irrigation, tall fescue usually can provide the consumer with 12 months of green turf.
Tall fescue is versatile.
It performs well in either full sun or light to medium shade when properly managed. The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the performance of 65 tall fescue cultivars. The trial was performed at the Oklahoma State University Turfgrass Research Center at Stillwater, Oklahoma from 1988 to 1992. The tall fescue trial was established by seeding the grasses into 5 x 5 foot plots at the rate of 4 pounds of seed per 1000 square feet on October 12, 1987. The plots were replicated three times in a randomized complete block design.
