What grass is best suited for grazing in a pecan orchard.

[mickster101]

I need to replant grass in a reclaimed pecan orchard. IN middle GA . Any suggestion.

You might try bermuda grass. It grows fairly well in partial shade.

Pecan put their leaves on late and lose them fairly early; a cool season annual might have a longer grazing time under the trees. Pecan also have very deep root structure and no roots running on top of the ground. Which would allow for drilling of the seed. There is an old pecan orchard on my brothers place (north east Alabama) and the fescue and orchard grass thrive.

thanks for the info, that's what I was thinking . Just don't have the time and money to experiment . Trying to make an educated decision.
