This New Zealand bred cultivar has exceptional shoot density and a high tolerance to close mown wear, helping to prevent the spread of Poa annua. Manor also has excellent tolerance to fusarium. An ideal alternative to a fescue for inland courses wishing to reduce Poa annua and improve green speed.
Characteristics
