JaMur Zoysia Grass
JaMur is a medium to course textured Zoysia grass primarily developed for use in high traffic, high visibility applications.
JaMur is similar in appearance to a dwarf variety of St. Augustine, and has many of the same uses. It is ideal for
residential, commercial,and industrial sites.
Characteristics: JaMur is compatible with a wide range of soil conditions and is comparable to St. Augustine in shade
tolerance. In the past, Zoysias were considered to be very slow to spread and establish. JaMur is not your typical Zoysia.
Expect full coverage from plugs planted on one foot centers in about 16 weeks instead of the 2 years it takes some of
the older varieties. Due to the fact that JaMur spreads faster and we are able to harvest more frequently, the price is
considerably less than Zoysias of the past. Compared to St. Augustine, JaMur is more cold, insect, disease, wear and
drought tolerant. At the same time, it is a much more aesthetically pleasing turf. JaMur produces a very lush, dense turf
with an attractive blue-green color. This density along with an extensive rhizome and root system gives JaMur excellent
recovery characteristics.
Installation & Maintenance: JaMur cannot be grown from seed. Actual plant material must be used. Solid sodding is
by far, the best way to go. Water the grass as you plant it. Do not wait until the entire site is planted to water. The site
should be watered heavily for at least two weeks to promote establishment. After establishment period is over, keep a
regular schedule of watering and mowing.
Recommended mowing height with a rotary mower is 2-3 inches. Recommended annual fertilization rate is one to two
pounds Nitrogen per 1,000 sqft. Use split applications with one pound Nitrogen in the spring to encourage new growth
and one pound Nitrogen in mid-to-late summer to promote healthy growth into the fall and winter.
