Trees, turf, and tropical tournament golf
Chris Chase joined me to discuss the types of grass that work in tropical conditions when there is a combination of high temperatures, cloudy weather, and tree shade. We discussed a lot of different grass types.
The post we discussed is https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/of-trees-turf-and-tournament-golf/, which considers which grasses work well in conditions of cloudy weather combined with tree shade. In particular, we discuss manilagrass (Zoysia matrella) and tropical carpetgrass (Axonopus compressus).
I also mentioned Tyler Carr's zoysia grow-in experiments at the University of Tennessee, which can be seen in this video: https://youtu.be/oNw9fPqm6YY
