Description

Fortune Tall Fescue is a summer active (continental type) tall fescue bred in Australia by the Future Farming Industry CRC. Fortune has been shown to be more persistent than current leading varieties. Fortune also has outstanding forage yield, offering higher winter, early-spring and autumn production. Bred using genetics from the Mediterranean region of Europe, Fortune also exhibits excellent persistence over extended dry summers. Growth characteristics include medium width leaves which are finer than many other typical summer active fescues.
