Outstanding Heat Tolerance
Hailing from central Florida, Palmetto® Buffalo has a coarse texture with dark green leaves. This variety has outstanding heat tolerance in high and low humidity climates. It also possesses reasonable cold tolerance and handles frosts well. Furthermore, this all-rounder handles shade and salinity well. Having a deep root system, Palmetto® Buffalo has medium wear tolerance with new runners assisting in recovery. We do not recommend this variety for high traffic areas.
