resistant, and can go dormant in a drought. Zoysia is the most difficult
grass to mow. Emerald, a fine blade beautiful selection, has a texture like
steel wool. It mows best with a reel mower. Jamur and El Toro are two good


We have Emerald Zoysia and I have to strongly disagree with this
description. It's a wonderful grass to take your shoes off and go walk
on it. It's like walking on a very plush carpet.
While it does not need mowing it gets mowed once or twice a year with
our electric (corded) mower. No issues at all.
