Question:"We have been informed that the Washington strain of creeping bent grows upright and produces a fluffy turf, and that the Metropolitan strain clings closely to the ground and does not make fluffy turf. Is this correct?"
Source of Question:Illinois
Answer/Response:"Both the Washington and Metropolitan strains of creeping bent cling very closely to the ground when growing naturally, but the nodes are very close together, and when they are grown under turf conditions they produce a dense growth of foliage which stands upright owing to the fact that the leaves are so closely crowded. Neither of these strains produces a fluffy turf when kept properly cut and topdressed. The quality of turf produced by these two strains is practically identical except in color. The Washington is a bright apple-green, and the Metropolitan a light blue-green."
