Question:"While we know that as a general thing the bent grasses are not adapted to warm climates, we should like to have your opinion with regard to growing them in the South as winter grasses. If they might be killed back by the summer heat, would they revive in winter?"
Source of Question:Georgia
Answer/Response:"After considering all the evidence we have with regard to the behavior of bent under conditions similar to yours, we are of the opinion that it would be unwise to go to any expense in trying to grow bent as a winter grass in the South. We believe that under ordinary conditions the effect of the summer heat would be so disastrous that the turf would not recover satisfactorily in the winter, and that the expense of special care given to it in the summer to keep it in good condition would not justify the results that might be obtained."
