General Description
Palisades, Zoysia japonica, is a vegetatively produced, medium textured, high density turf suitable for home lawns, golf fairways and roughs, sports fields, industrial parks, and highway medians. Palisades is a medium to coarse textured turf noted for its shade tolerance and low water use requirements.
SHADE TOLERANCE
- Palisades exhibits versatility of exceptional growth in both the sun and shade.
- This grass only requires 3-4 hours of sunlight to achieve its peak performance.
WATERING
- Palisades is classified as having low irrigation needs, requiring one to two deep irrigations per month during dry periods.
- Higher irrigation frequency will provide excellent quality turf, but may also demand additional fertilization.
- Should be watered daily and kept wet during the first 7-10 days.
MOWING
- Palisades will tolerate mowing as close as 7/8″ with good weed competition ideally as high as 2″ to 2-1/2″ for home lawns.
- Its close mowing would permit use on golf course fairways especially where water availability is of concern.
FERTILIZATION
Palisades will require between 3 to 4 lbs of Nitrogen per 1000 square feet per year for a highly maintained turf, to a more modest 1 to 3 lbs of Nitrogen for a high quality, low maintenance turf. Read and follow all fertilizer instructions regarding use and application.
