Description
Texoka Buffalograss is a fine-leaved, native, sod-forming, warm-season, perennial. It generally grows 4 to 8 inches tall and spreads rapidly by surface runners and forms a dense, matted turf (great for lawns). It is commonly found in medium to fine-textured soils.
Texoka Buffalograss provides good grazing for all classes of livestock. It can withstand long, heavy grazing better than any other native grass on ranges consistently subjected to severe use. It often survives as a monoculture or pure stand. Because of its excellent ground cover, ability to spread under use, wide climatic adaptation, and relative ease of establishment, Buffalograss is ideally suited for erosion control on range and pasturelands.
