							                        The Benefits of Palmetto Buffalo

Palmetto Buffalo is a new generation of Soft Leaf Buffalo and has been available
for the last five years in Perth. Palmetto has since established itself as a premium
buffalo grass and it is not hard to see why.

Palmetto has a superior annual colour and because it is frost tolerant in the
winter, it maintains its outstanding emerald green, eye catching colour all year
round.

Palmetto thrives across Australia in a wide range of climatic and soil conditions.

It performs very well in full sun and handles shaded areas better than most other
varieties, especially couches such as wintergreen or kikuyu.

Palmetto even recovers quickly from damage such as minor scalping as it sends
out runners to repair open areas.

Palmetto handles the alkaline soil conditions of Perth coastal areas which are
known to be iron and manganese deficit and are difficult to rectify, which in turn
can contribute to the overall health of a lawn and make them susceptible to
disease such as spring dead spot and dollar spot.

Palmetto Buffalo requires less mowing than conventional varieties such as couch
and kikuyu. It is also less susceptible to scalping than most other varieties.

Excellent surface results can be achieved by mowing Palmetto with a rotary
mower as opposed to the high maintenance and expensive reel mower.
