ST26 
- A New Generation of Soft Leaf Buffalo
New Austine Buffalo is slightly coarser than a dwarf leaf variety, but it is very soft. Austine Buffalo is very hard wearing and retains its colour well in the winter. Ideal for all Aussie conditions, this Buffalo variety makes a great front or back lawn. Austine is shade tolerant and recovers well from wear, thus making this type of turf a great all-purpose lawn with incredible colour.
Austine ST-26 is a hybridized improved turf grass variety of the shade tolerant species Stenotaphrum Secundatum ("Buffalo grass") developed by H&T Whiting Turf Grass Development.
Richmond TAFE/NSW Agriculture carried out an assessment of 18 common turf varieties: they tested for greenness and the effect of the winter frost. ST26 was found to be "The Best Buffalo at this stage". For more Information, click here.
