Paspalum PlatinumTE
The world's number one Paspalum.
When passion and precision meet on a turf, the result is Platinum TE™
This innovation from Paspalum by Dr. Ron R. Duncan offers unsurpassed playability and appearance.
Platinum TE has a darker green color than other Paspalum varieties, a very fine leaf texture, and a very compact density.
This naturally selected Paspalum is certified and approved, and perfect for installation from tee to green.
Platinum TE is the turf chosen for more than 150 golf course and sports field projects worldwide, because it is shade tolerant, highly salt tolerant and exhibits very rapid chop recovery.
