Festuca arundinacea
Fawn Tall Fescue
Fawn tall forage fescue is an endophyte free, cool season bunchgrass. This deep-rooted variety is tolerant of intensive grazing and animal traffic. It withstands heat and dry conditions better than other grasses. Fescues are used in pasture, roadside, and waterway mixes. For livestock uses, an endophyte free variety should be used to avoid problems with palatability and animal health.
