How long does it take to "train" bermuda to grow horizontal
Comments (15)That being said, i wanted to take this opportunity to elaborate a bit more on "common bermudas". Common to me is just a term that indicates a bermuda that can be established by seed. There are however, improved common varieties that will tolerate mowing down to 1/2". some include Princes, Yukon, riviera, sahara, mohawk and there are others. Below i wanted to show you 4 different types of bermudas, from thinest stem to thickest stem. 1. Tiff 419 (Hybrid bermuda) 2. Yukon (improved common) 3. what might be Celebration 4. "Common bermuda" aka arizona common. Notice the thickness of each. The reason I'm showing you this is to help those out there understand why you typically mow common bermuda at taller heights. I never realized there was a big difference between bermudas until I had my own bermuda lawn. That previous picture i posted is made up of bermuda 3 and 4. I mow it at 1" with a reel mower 2-3 times a week. I have mowed it with a rotary mower as well and it still looks nice but not as clean cut as my reel. With the rotary mower it does tend to suck up the grass giving it a choppy look when i mow. Have in mind the more sun your yard gets, the denser it will be, that being said, it can scalp easier with a rotary when it is denser. SO.. In your case, i would mow at 1.25" or even 1.5" until you decide to go for a reel mower. Remember, if you do have a improved variety, you can probably get away with the lowest setting on your rotary mower once you have given it a scalp (below desired height) at the beginning of the season. I mostly speak from experience........See MoreHow long does it take oak tree leaves to fully grow once they wake up?

Comments (21)If your climate supports outdoors bay growing and you intend to plant yours in the ground anyway, I'd do it immediately. I have grown bay in a pot and it is far more difficult than just sticking it into the earth. They are tough and easy trees if you have winters which are not too cold. I have one growing on the allotment in heavy clay over a filled in brook, ie dense and damp soil, right next to the rhubarb, and it is growing like crazy. I am not convinced that drainage is as crucial as people assume. Just so long as the winter doesn't get too cold and the ground doesn't freeze solid. Here's my little bay in 2012 in its 2nd year from transplanting. (It was a seedling that popped up amongst the raspberries from parks department leaf mulch.) It has to be pruned drastically several times a year to keep it about 10 feet tall now. Growth rate is around 1 - 2 feet per annum. edlincoln - not exactly a desert, or even dry, environment is it? ;-) Campanula, what do you think of the yellow leaved ones? Personally they just look ill to me. The neighbour's bay. You can imagine the smell when the prunings go through the chipper when they have it lopped....See MoreMike McGarvey
