Tex-Turf 10 Bermuda grass was developed by the Texas Agricultural experiment station as a medium-textured, dark green variety that is more wear resistant than Common Bermuda grass. It also lacks the seed heads of Common Bermuda grass. It has been a top performing Bermuda for drought tolerance in recent drought studies. This grass will require 3-4 applications per year of a 3-1-2 ratio fertilizer with a slow release nitrogen source. Ideal mowing height is 1-2 inches with a rotary mower or a reel type mower. It requires 1 inch of water every 3 weeks during the fall, winter, and spring seasons. This increases to 1 inches of water every seven days during the extreme heat of the summer. This grass will only grow in full sun. |
