We are currently out of Yukon and it could be the end of summer before we have any more. Please look at the Riveria bermuda grass as it is very similar. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yukon (OKS91-11) seeded turf-type bermudagrass is the best choice for turf managers needing an exceptional seeded bermudagrass, no matter what bermuda growing zone they are in – world-wide! Developed by the Oklahoma State University Turfgrass Research Team, in conjunction with the USGA. This seeded bermudagrass is a synthetic variety produced by the intercrossing of five parental plants that were selected in 1990 from a cold hardy study, based on high turf quality. Yukon is the most dramatic improvement in seeded bermudagrass varieties to date.

Advantages: Yukon uses up to 25% less water than other bermudagrasses, while maintaining superior turf quality, according to university studies. In Oklahoma, Mississippi and Arkansas, Yukon has surpassed all other seeded varieties and many of the vegetative varieties for Spring Dead Spot resistance, Early Spring Green-up and Winter Survival. Yukon’s performance exceeds many sod or seeded bermudagrass varieties available today.

Performance: Yukon has expanded the bermudagrass planting zone — it is the turfgrass professional’s top choice for projects from the Equator to the Transition zones of the world. In trials, it has shown excellent turf quality and winter hardiness at both 0.5 inch and 1.5 inch mowing heights. Yukon has consistently outperformed other seeded turf bermudagrasses in the NTEP trials, as well as other test sites across the United States and overseas. Golf superintendents, parks and sports field managers, landscapers, as well as other quality turf professionals will find this improved turf-type seeded bermudagrass an advanced performer. Yukon can be seeded on new projects, as well as interseeded into existing turf of similar quality. Highest ratings for turfgrass quality, color, density and texture, rank Yukon Bermudagrass as the best choice for turf managers, wherever bermudagrass is grown. Additionally, with its excellent winter survival and cold tolerance, Yukon becomes a stand-alone choice for transition zone plantings.
