Latitude 36 Bermudagrass
Latitude 36™ Bermudagrass is a high quality, sterile triploid hybrid developed by Oklahoma State University. It was rated highly in the NTEP (National Turfgrass Evaluation Program) trials for resistance to spring dead spot and for wear tolerance. Latitude 36™ offers outstanding cold hardiness, high traffic tolerance and exceptional visual quality. It has finer leaves than NorthBridge. Latitude 36™ is an excellent choice for use in the southern U.S. through the transition zone and the upper region of bermudagrass adaptation.
Most shipping is done on Mondays and Tuesdays to try to prevent plugs from sitting in a warehouse or on a truck over the weekend. Since we ship from the middle of the US, we are able to reach both coasts by Friday.
