The stand out performer across all climates and conditions was Village Green. The testing involved taking measurements of growth rate, height, greenness, stolon thickness and root volume.
Trials were conducted in harsh conditions with temperatures ranging from 40 degrees centigrade in the summer to minus 3 degrees in winter.
