COMMON NAME: Tall Fescue

The tall fescue is a handsome, upright, densely tufted, perennial grass of the moist meadows and the open ground, and its fine, narrow, stiff, bluish or green leaves and its slender, upright heads of the many small, dry grains have made it a valued and fine grass of the region. It grows as an upright, densely tufted, perennial grass, reaching up to one metre and a half or more, with the many slender, upright stems bearing the fine, narrow, stiff, rolled leaves and, through the early summer, the slender, upright heads of the many small, dry grains. It is a species of the true grass in the grass family, and it is native to the moist meadows and the open ground of the Europe and the surrounding regions, while it is treasured for its fine, tough, leafy growth, and it is known as the tall fescue.

The tall fescue belongs to the true grass family, Poaceae, and it is a species of the upright, densely tufted, perennial grass, native to the moist meadows and the open ground of the Europe and the surrounding regions, while it is treasured for its fine, tough, leafy growth, and it is known as the tall fescue. It is prized for its fine, tough, leafy tufts.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The tall fescue has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the plant science and the forage science, since it is a valued grass of the pasture and the meadow, and researchers have examined its growth, its yield and its ways of standing up to the grazing, while the study of the forage grasses has drawn attention in the international agricultural press as a fine subject of the grassland science. The plant has also been studied in the ecology, since it is a native of the moist meadows and the open ground of the Europe and the surrounding regions, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the meadow have been examined, while the ecology of the grassland plants has been of continuing interest, and its fine, narrow, stiff leaves have been of interest to the botanists. The species has also been studied in the turf science, since its fine, tough, leafy growth has made it a valued grass of the lawn, the playing field and the bank, and researchers have examined its growth, its wear and its cultivation, while its value as a tough, durable grass has been of continuing interest, and its fine, dense, leafy form has been of value. For a grass of such fine value, the tall fescue has a rich and continuing record of study.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

Ecologically, the tall fescue is a generous plant of the garden. Its fine, dense, tufted growth holds the ground and shelters the small creatures, and its slender, upright heads feed the birds, while its fine, green, leafy form brings a fine, soft presence to the meadow and the bank.

Its economic value is real. The tall fescue is treasured for its fine, tough, leafy growth, and its value has drawn attention in the international agricultural and turf press, while its fine, dense, tough form has made it a valued grass of the pasture, the lawn and the playing field. For a grower, the tall fescue is an easy and rewarding grass, and for a gardener it brings a fine, tough, leafy grass to the meadow and the lawn. Rake the ground smooth, scatter the fine grains over the surface and just press them in gently with the back of the rake, keep the ground moist in a bright, open spot, and the first green shoots will come up readily.
