Independence is an upright, aggressive, medium dense variety that establishes quickly, is highly resistant to Poa annua invasion, and will recover quickly from ball marks and divots. Its mowing height flexibility allows use on fairways, tees, and greens. Independence develops a dense, fine textured turf without developing excessive thatch. Its medium density also allows easier topdressing than other dense varieties. Independence will be the ultimate choice for new construction or reconstruction projects.
