Tall Fescue Grass Not
Recommended In Area
BY C. BRI CK WILLIAMS
Area Extension Turfgravs Agent
Dear Plant Doctor: 1 am consid
ering using sonic of the new turf
types of lull fescue in my yard.
What arc some of the pros and cons
of tall fescue?
Answer: I have been waiting 10
years for this question. A portion of
m\ graduate research involved the
evaluation of tall fescue growth in
the piedmont and coastal plains of
Alabama.
Tall fcscuc (Fcstuca arundina
cca) is a cool season bunch grass
native to northern Africa and the
adjoining Mediterranean countries.
Tins grass is grown extensively
throughout the eastern United
States, primarily in the piedmont
and mountain regions. High loam
or clay-containing soils usually pro
duce quality turf stands.
In general tall fescue docs poorly
in sandy soils.
Calls Answered
Officers answered 1,163 calls last
month and made 126 investigations
while recovering more than S 16,000
in property, reported the Brunswick
County Sheriff's Department.
According to the monthly report,
officers made one arrest on drunk
and disruptive charges, logged
89,496 miles and used 5,853 gallons
of fuel.
Other figures lor October show:
102 domestic calls answered; 10 ar
rests made as prosecuting witness;
405 witnesses summoned; 550 civil
papers served; one juvenile petition
served; 229 local warrants and three
foreign warrants served; three men
tal and inebriate papers served and
seven doors and windows found
open.
Court hours totaled 335 hours on
duly and seven hours off duty. Two
trips were made out of the county,
S16.150 in properly was recovered
and the department's transport van
logged 1.013 miles.
Officers held 23 crime prevention
meetings.

THE PLANT DOCTOR
The optimum seasons for the
growth of tall fescue arc the spring
and fall. During the hot, dry sum
mer months the grass tends to go
dormant. However, tall fescue
comes closest to providing vcar
round green lawn throughout much
of North Carolina. Tall fescue docs
not recover well from injury or fool
traffic, therefore bare areas must be
reseeded annu
ally.
Great ad
vances have
been made in
breeding
high
turf-type
fescue
varieties
past 15 years.
Tall fescue is a >mi.i.iams
modcraic-to-coarsc bladed, heavy
duty grass thai tolerates a wide
range of environmental conditions.
Older varieties, such as Kentucky
31. are much coarser bladed than
the newer turf-type tall fcscuc vari
eties. Numerous varieties arc avail
able, some of which arc Adventure,
Brookston, Falcon, Finelawn, Gal
way, Houndog, Jaguar, Olympic and
Rebel II.
Tall fescue sounds like the ideal
lawn grass. But for eastern North
Carolina gardeners, the reality is
quite the opposite.
I rarely sec a high quality tall fcs
cuc lawn in ihis area doe to (he san
dy soils thai dominate. Improper
cultivation, nematodes and numer
ous hoi weather fungus disease pro
blems also help restrict tall fcscuc
lawns to the piedmont and mountain
regions of the stale.
In general, I recommend lhal you
consider one of the warm season
grasses such as zoysia, centipede,
bcrmuda or St. Augustine for your
lawn. Tall fescue and other ctx>l
season grasses such as benigrass,
blucgrass and fine fescue can be
grown in this area but at great trou
ble and expense.
The North Carolina Extension
Service has several excellent publi
cations that address tall fcscuc
lawns. Carolina Lawns (Bulletin
AG-69) and Tall Fcscuc Lawn
Maintenance Calendar (Bulletin
AG-367) are available from the
county extension office at Bolivia.
