Varieties. Kentucky-31 and Alta are the 2 oldest varieties of tall
fescue in use today. Alta was selected from a stand of tall fescue in
Oregon in 1923 and K-31 is an increase from tall fescue found in 1931
on a Kentucky farm where it had been growing for 50 years. Both of
these grasses are coarse textured and produce a rather weak turf. They
have been widely used as pasture grasses in the transition zone.
Kenwell, Kenhy, Fawn and Goar were later releases, but possessed
similar turf characteristics. In the 1970's, tall fescues were being
developed specifically for turfgrasses and varieties such as Rebel,
Olympic, Houndog, Falcon and Adventure were released. These new
turf-type tall fescues are finer textured and produce a denser turf
than older pasture-type varieties. They also provide year-round green
color for lawns. Bonsai tall fescue is a newly released dwarf variety
with outstanding turf quality
