Before the release of Tift 85, UGA planted some test plots around. One of these was located on a friend's farm that had a large field composed what we call sugar sand. This is very droughty, very infertile soil barely capable of supporting prickly pear and lichen. Sprigs were planted here and when escavated the roots were found to penetrate the soil 15 feet. Can't say this was a lush stand but it does give some idea of what extremes bermuda can tolerate.
