Mazama (tested as A04-74) is a new elite, very dark green (tops in genetic color in 2016), dense and medium fine leaved variety, with very good turf quality and wear tolerance as demonstrated in the latest data from the current bluegrass NTEP trials. It was developed at Rutgers. It is an excellent summer performer under severe summer stress, and will persist indefinitely under demanding turfgrass conditions. Mazama is a low growing cultivar that requires less frequent mowing than most other bluegrasses. It is classified as an improved “America” type variety.
