BERMUDAGRASS


KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS

FESCUE ChoruS


Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass (OKC 1131) is the most cold tolerant bermudagrass on the market today. 'Tahoma' is of Native American Indian origin meaning ‘that frozen water,’ which perfectly describes this variety’s key characteristic; its ability to withstand freezing temperatures. Developed by Oklahoma State University in response to a growing need for a cold and drought tolerant variety, Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass fits the bill. Through nationwide NTEP testing, Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass, a vegetative cultivar, excelled in key metrics compared to other bermudagrasses including Tifway, TifTuf, Patriot, Latitude 36 and Celebration. Though it thrives in the cold, Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass is highly adaptable to different climates and soils, including soils with high salt concentrations and areas where drought and water use are an issue. Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass’s availability in the wake of last winter’s record-setting cold temperatures, is highly anticipated by those who manage sports fields and golf courses. Sod Production Services is currently licensing turf farms across the country to satisfy anticipated demand. Sod Production Services
