Selected for productivity and adaptation to warm conditions, it became widely planted for hay and grazing in the southern United States. Because it produces little or no viable s...
Why this score
Historically transformative forage cultivar with exceptional productivity, persistence, and regional impact; unsuitable as refined lawn turf.
ui.x_scoring_methodologyEvernia prunastri, commonly called oakmoss, is a gray-green, bushy fruticose lichen that grows on the bark and branches of trees, especially in temperate woodland.

Why this score
Perfumery importance, recognizable form, historical use, and widespread familiarity support acclaim, despite allergy and overharvesting concerns.
ui.x_scoring_methodologyNui is a perennial ryegrass cultivar bred in New Zealand and used since the 1970s in productive pasture systems. It was selected for forage yield and persistence under grazing, making it suitable for temperate livestock farms where perennial ryegrass forms the basis of frequently grazed swards. The...
Why this score
Highly productive, persistent pasture cultivar with major New Zealand influence; turf refinement is secondary and endophyte issues require management.
ui.x_scoring_methodologyBlackwell is a named cultivar of switchgrass, Panicum virgatum, a warm-season perennial grass used in conservation plantings, range seeding, revegetation, forage production, and wildlife habitat. Seed from a single plant was collected in 1934 near Blackwell, Oklahoma, and the cultivar was cooperativ...
Why this score
Historic, broadly adapted forage and conservation cultivar with dependable productivity; newer varieties offer higher yield and regional specialization.

It was specifically bred for its significantly faster germination and rapid establishment compared to standard bahiagrass varieties. This warm-season grass is utilized p...
Why this score
Faster germination meaningfully improves bahiagrass establishment while retaining persistence; coarse texture and seedheads remain unavoidable drawbacks.
ui.x_scoring_methodologySand Mountain is a cold-tolerant cultivar of bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) developed in the southeastern United States. As a deep-rooted, warm-season perennial grass, it is primarily utilized for forage production and soil erosion control. This specific variety is particularly well-adapted to sandy...
Why this score
Cold tolerance expands dependable forage and utility use; turf appearance and density remain secondary strengths.
