Giant is similar in
appearance to the popular hybrid Coastal Bermuda. It has the same erect
and giant growth and vigorous spreading habits associated with Coastal.
There is one major difference in that Coastal Bermuda does not seed, but
the Giant variety does (Often also called NK37 Giant). Giant
Bermudagrass grows tall enough to cut for hay, even on low fertility
soils.
At a Yuma Arizona trial, measurements showed an average
of 30 inches in height compared to 14-16 inches for common on same type
soils. Four to Five cuttings a year are possible with Giant with
Nitrogen a key factor in total tonnage production. With proper
management a cutting or grazing can be made as early as 50 days after
seeding the field. Giant is a perennial grass that is alkali and heat
tolerant.
