OZARK was released by the Department of Agronomy at the University of Missouri in 2002. Ozark is a propagation from a very cold tolerant bermudagrass from Yugoslavia and 'Coastal'. Based on its cold tolerance and stand persistence, it is thought to be best adapted to the northern half of the bermudagrass belt. Ozark is propagated by conventional sprigging and produces vigorous underground rhizomes and crown buds. Variety Producers
