Rhizomatous Tall Fescue is a mouthful to say so it is colloquially known as RTF, it is a more aggressive and stable turf in tough conditions hence its nickname “Trident Turf on steroids”. Its finer leafed than Trident Turf generally and as such has a different texture and complexion and as such isn’t as fetching to look at some points of the year. If you’re struggling with areas of drought or high footfall then RTF may be your answer due to its intense density. Please see below for more information on RTF
RTF turf is designed to grow in the harshest of conditions where wear and tear is high. Commonly used as a suitable alternative to artificial lawns. It is widely used commercially, so at large footfall businesses, public spaces, open green spaces, parks and museums. The root is known to grow outwardly as well as down from the main plant and up to lengths of 1.5 metres in search of a water source. This is why it is perfect for those dryer parts of the UK.
RTF Turf offers tolerance to drought and waterlogging through its deep rooting capabilities. It extends into the sub soil if the ground conditions allow (i.e no hardcore or concrete). It provides excellent wear tolerance with added traction once established. Making it suitable for walkways or goal mouths on a football pitch. In summary, the RTF is normal grass on steroids: it is stronger, deeper rooting, more durable and has a coarser complexion sometimes.
