I was out checking cows / pastures this morning and drove through the field that I sprigged last spring in Tifton 85, noticed there were stems that were green! I could not believe it, stopped the 4 wheeler and got down on my hands and knees to be sure it was bermuda and not winter weed or something else. I found several green stems. I am in E Texas 90 miles SE of Dallas. Burmuda should be dormant in January here. I don't have much experience with Tifton yet, mostly coastal, and it will stay dormant usually until March. I have read that Tifton is more cold tolerant and will grow later in the fall and come out earlier in the spring than coastal. Anybody else with this experience?
