CHARACTERISTICS

It’s tough. It’s durable. It doesn’t take much work. Midiron is the most popular variety in Arizona because of its drought tolerance, resiliency under heavy traffic, quick recovery, and easy transitions. It is the ideal variety for commercial jobs where little maintenance and high traffic are factors. Midiron can be mowed with either a reel or sharp rotary mower.
