Speedway turf-type tall fescue is a dwarf, fine-leaved dark-green tall fescue that is extremely versatile in its application. Developed for improved turf quality and screened for superior Brown Patch resistance, Speedway excels in many environments. It was selected from plants with superior performance under high heat stress as well as tolerance for cooler weather. In addition to its wide range of adaptation and high turf quality, Speedway exhibits high levels of rhizome expression for a dense, wear tolerant turf suitable for both high and low maintenance situations.
