Max Q

[KMacGinley]

Could Max Q be grown in Northern Indiana? We have some regular fescue used here for waterways and such.

Reading the info given by Penington it is indicated that MaxQ is not permanent forage but may dwindle out. Does it reseed or revert back to something else.
Is this the same as Grasslands Flecha MaxQTM described at this site? http://vernon.tamu.edu/IRM/forages/CURR ... RD-TIE.htm

MaxQ or any of the novel endophyte fescues don;t have the persisstence that nasty old KY31 has but it's better then the endophyte free varietys.
Personally, if I was going to plant something that wasn;t going to persist I would plant something a whole lot cheaper then MaxQ, like OG or brome.

Wonder how accurate the map is. It shows me being in the blue zone but no one grows it here that I know of. I would like to try some fescue but always thought it too hot and humid here for it to live. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with growing it on the outer ranges?

Jogeephus,

call these guys and see what they say.

Ask for Tony.

Flecha is a complete different animal. Its a WINTER ACTIVE Tall fescue (most tall fescues are SUMMER ACTIVE). Winter active tall fescues will only survive in places where there is no chance of frost.

As with most grasses they have to be managed in order to get the full benefit out of them.

Merry Christmas to all!

Tall fescue (most tall fescues are SUMMER ACTIVE).

Since fescue is a cool season grass, I would suppose if your summers are below 80 degrees they may be active. But where the summer t emps are above that there isn;t going to be a whole lot of growth.
