Buffalo Grass Patents (Class PLT/391)
  • Buffalograss plant named ‘UCD-95’
    Patent number: PP12910
    Abstract: A new female diploid cultivar of Buffalograss (i.e., Buchloe dactyloides) is provided that resulted from mass selection. Superior turf quality is displayed over the entire growing season. The stolons are of fine texture and the internodes are short. Good drought tolerance is displayed. The plant exhibits superior turf green color retention and short winter dormany. The growth habit is extremely competitive with respect to weeds. A high turf density is made possible with a rapid stolon spreading rate and short plant height that provides an attractive low maintenance turf.
