U3 VS Bermuda Triangle

Has anyone used Bermuda Triangle in Central Okla? I am wondering if the Triangle is softer than the U3 and which one is the better quality.

There is not pure strains of U3 available in OK nor is there seeded U3. Bermuda Triangle is not winter tolerant in Oklahoma. If you want a seeded bermudagrass for your area; Riviera was bred @ OSU and is grown and produced in Oklahoma. It is the #1 rated seeded bermudagrass in the NTEP trials. Seed inventories are very limited now.

The Rivera is SOOOOOOO expensive. I was told the Triangle would be winter tolerant due to the Mohawk in it.

Okay I did research the U3 per your advice. I found someone who will Sprigg the full acre and a half for 1500.00. Now my question is Srigging better than Seeding? Sorry I am clueless about lawns.

Sprigging is a proven way to plant bermuda. Weed control is a challenge with both sprigs and seeds. @ 2#/1000 sq ft Riviera will cost approx. $1400 so cost between seeding Riviera and sprigging U3is a push. Make sure if you need more sprigs at a later date, get your sprigs from the same guy. All U3 is not the same. The advantage to seeding is the increased amount of growing points compared to sprigging. I strongly recommend that you thoroughly read and understand the agronomy of seeding bermudagrass seed. You can get an establishment guide from the Johnston Seed Co. web site.
