Quick Facts

BANSHEE is a new tuf-type tall fescue featuring excellent heat tolerance and Brown patch resistence. It consistently produces a fine dense turf with a rich deep green color. It also has moderate winter dormancy and high resistance to Fusarium and net blotch. - traits that allow it to persist in maritime environments such as the Pacific Northwest where tall fescue is increasingly being used. Banshee is recommended for permanent turf in full or partial shade on golf course roughs, out-of-bounds areas and low maintenance sites. It can be utilized in poly-specie grass seed mixtures maintained at a moderate height of cut. It can also be used in dry temperate regions in addition to hot and humid regions with excellent results.
