MiniVerde Bermudagrass

description MiniVerde Bermudagrass Overview

MiniVerde is an ultradwarf bermudagrass cultivar used chiefly on golf-course putting greens in warm climates. Its very fine leaves and high shoot density allow it to form a compact surface capable of tolerating the low mowing heights required for putting. Because bermudagrass grows most actively in warm conditions and can lose color or become dormant in cool weather, MiniVerde is intended for intensively managed facilities suited to warm-season turf.

help MiniVerde Bermudagrass FAQ

What is MiniVerde Bermudagrass used for?

Released in 2003 after being selected in North Carolina, MiniVerde is an ultradwarf bermudagrass used exclusively on golf course putting greens. It is prized for its high shoot density and ability to tolerate very low mowing heights.

How fast do MiniVerde greens play?

Because MiniVerde maintains such high shoot density at low mowing heights, it allows golf courses to achieve incredibly fast green speeds. Many championship courses utilize this grass specifically for tournament play.

Does MiniVerde Bermudagrass struggle in the cold?

Like other warm-season ultradwarfs, MiniVerde will enter dormancy during colder winter months. Courses in the transition zone must often use turf covers or overseed to protect the grass from winterkill.

Does MiniVerde require a lot of maintenance?

To maintain its ultradwarf characteristics and high shoot density, MiniVerde requires frequent verticutting and topdressing. If neglected, it will quickly accumulate a thick thatch layer that ruins the putting surface.
