What this model does not show

UF IFAS explicitly reports variation from very fine to coarse blades, variable collar width, and hairs only in some Zoysia.
Use a selectable morphology range or cultivar profile before committing to one blade width, hair density, or runner thickness.
The root rendering is a non-diagnostic teaching interpretation, not a cultivar measurement.
