Zoysia japonica
Zoysia - Japanese Lawn Grass
Palisades (protected by Australian Plant Breeder's Rights and United States Plant Patent).
Palisades is a medium- to coarse-textured zoysiagrass variety suitable for use in home lawns, domestic and recreational areas. Palisades forms a medium to high density lawn that handles wear and shady conditions.
From a turf production perspective, Palisades is relatively fast growing for a zoysiagrass with coverage being achieved within 6 to 8 months. A benefit of zoysiagrass is that it is less common to see attacks by army worm and sod web worm. The high fibre and lignin present within the leaf blades, which also assist for wear tolerance, make it tough for such attacks. To put it simply, the foliage is "too" tough and unfavorable for chewing mouthparts of such pests.
