Comments and observations:
Tropika Blue, in my opinion, is the closest thing to a genuine low maintenance grass. At Tanby Turf we call it ‘Fisherman’s Grass’ as it allows you time to pursue other activities. Tropika Blue is a natural grass from Swaziland in Africa which is on approximately the same latitude as Central Queensland. It is a relative of Blue couch and has evolved under conditions of heavy grazing and irregular rain fall. In trials Tropika did not allow weed invasion even under conditions of nil nitrogen application. Under conditions of extremely low moisture Tropika will shut down but come back so quickly after rain that it will not allow weeds to penetrate. (See comment on drought tolerance under ‘Turf Species’).
The only complaint I have had with Tropika is that it is too vigorous. However, after talking to these people it is clear they are fertilising and watering it like green couch. Once they stop this the Tropika settles down.
