Sir Walter Buffalo Turf

Sir Walter Premium Lawn Turf is a variety of Australian-bred soft-leaf Buffalo Grass first developed in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. Brent Redman developed Sir Walter in the mid 1990s to be a environmentally responsible grass able to flourish under the harsh conditions found in many parts of Australia.

Original forms of buffalo were tough and scratchy to the touch. Soft-leaf buffaloes are the result of breeding to produce buffalo grasses that retain this durability but that are soft and pleasant to touch. Sir Walter was preceded by other soft-leaf buffalo grasses such as Shademaster Buffalo, but supersedes them in winter colour retention and resilience.

Sir Walter is a registered PBR (Plant Breeder's Rights) Turf. Turf farmers must have a license to grow this breed. Purchasers receive a certificate to verify that they have received a genuine version of Sir Walter Turf.
