Good adaptation to sport and playgrounds

APACHE is wear tolerant and grows well in mixtures with Poa pratensis; ensuring good cover through all seasons.

The tough type

Compared to more recent varieties; Apache belongs to the generation of tall fescues for turf with larger leaves and with lower shoot density. This allows APACHE to preserve maximum ressources and resist even in very rustical conditions.

Red thread resistance at top level

APACHE is one of the most red thread resistant tall fescue varieties on the market. Again an advantage in tough conditions with limited nitrogen.
