| Question: | "I have been informed that the Washington strain of creeping bent after five or six years becomes coarse and woody. Can you verify this?" |

| Source of Question: | Pennsylvania; Colorado |

| Answer/Response: | "Up to this date there are no greens of Washington creeping bent which have reached the age of four years. However, the original plot of the Washington strain at Arlington Experimental Farm is now about six years old and its texture is as fine and soft as it ever was. The indications point strongly to the fact that if creeping bent turf is properly cared for it will retain its fine texture indefinitely. Moreover, we know of some bent greens seeded 20 years or more ago and which are now in fine shape. Under normal conditions and with reasonable care creeping bent will maintain its fine texture indefinitely." |
