[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 685023, member: 7795"] I think their are probably thousands of different varieties all called Common Bermuda. Some are short, some medium height and then the tall ones. From what I see by planting the blended bermudas is that usually have all three types or at least two; as each year goes by the shorter varieties tend to keep the larger varieties runners from making ground contact which impedes its ability to replenish itself. (No research grant money taken and spent to form this assumption so it is a tax friendly idea. It was arrived by just watching growth characteristics of what I have planted.) Now another though, and remember the same amount was spent on its formation, if common bermuda can grow 2-3 inches a week in a yard and require mowing back to an inch and a half every week, what would be so bad about having that in a pasture. You just have to avoid that stuff that only grows an inch tall. So if I were planting it for hay, I'd avoid any that has the shorter varieties in the blend. Trouble their is that rules out most of the blends. [/QUOTE]
