Very fine leaved with high shoot density
High disease resistance, year-round colour and strong regrowth makes DICKENS a top performer under close mown conditions
DICKENS 1 has a very fine needle type leaf texture and in combination with the high shoot density it’s the major reason to the uniform and dense appearance of DICKENS 1.
The very good rating for amenity turf and wear tolerance of the RSM rating speak for themselves and show the superb quality of this variety. If you talk quality turf you can not avoid using DICKENS 1!
