Diamond Zoysia

UFG8RMIKE · Jun 30, 2019

Met up with an old friend this wknd. He was a golf course superintendent for years and now a rep for siteone. We got to talking about suggestions for our new home build in a year or so. I was contemplating going bermuda but he highly recommended Diamond Zoysia over anything else. Sounds like its used on greens and can tolerate being mowed at 1/8"

I currently have Empire at our vacation home and very happy with it. This is the 1st I've heard of Diamond. Anyone have this variety?

Man that's some maintenance intense Zoysia and prone to worms from a little reading. That'll be more maintenance intense than your Yellowfin lol.

The clemson golf coruse installed diamond greens a few years back. They had some shade covered greens and couldn't install hybrid bermudas. I have never seen it for residential. I like the zorro I put down a few year ago. It works well a very low heights and I use it for a backyard go area.

If you hunt around, trinity zoysia is the best extra fine blade zoysia. Its a fairly new variety and hard to find since golf courses are buying it all up.

Never seen this stuff, but if it's insect susceptible wouldn't imidicloprid give some good residual? I'm going to put some down soon on my zeon

IDK, from what I understand diamond is what a lot of the orlando and villages courses are going to. Overall cost to maintain is 30% of hybrid bermuda and far less mowing.

It's was on a Hilton Head green I played ...Fazio (one of them). Trinity/L1F is all over at Trinity (Byron Nelson) and another near San Antonio (search TLF it should come up).
