Common Buffalo Grass

Overview

Standard Sydney Common Buffalo Grass (also found naturalised in Melbourne and parts of Queensland). Too rough, nowhere near as good as any other variety. Sold virtually nowhere.

Detailed Review

For years people gathered runners of this grass and planted a home lawn with it. In the 1970's and 1980's, it was the Buffalo grass turf, the only Buffalo grass.  In the late 1980's, as soon as the Shademaster or common soft leaf Buffalo appeared on the market, people no longer wanted this standard scratchy Sydney Buffalo. It simply was too rough and gave people rashes. All the new varieties except one have fixed this problem and are soft leaf. As this Buffalo is no longer available for sale, if you want it you will have to collect runners, but to do so you would have to like pain and rashes. There could be no other reason for wanting a scratchy harsh Buffalo like this.
