Tall Fescue grass is a tufted, perennial grass that is best adapted to cool-season production. It grows substantially during spring and autumn, with modest growth during winter (even though it stays green) and limited growth in summer. It can spread with small underground roots called rhizomes. Leaves have characteristic ridges on the upper side.
This grass is best adapted to areas where the annual rainfall exceeds 1000 mm and distribution correlates with the crop's production curve. In South Africa, Tall Fescue is normally planted under irrigation.
