Cymbopogon plurinodes

Cymbopogon Plurinodis, commonly known as Broad-Leaved Turpentine Grass, is a robust perennial grass native to southern Africa’s grasslands and savannas. Renowned for its broad aromatic leaves with a turpentine-like scent, this grass plays a vital role in grazing systems and land restoration projects. It thrives in semi-arid conditions and nutrient-poor soils, offering excellent soil-binding properties and forage potential.

Key Features:

• Drought-Resistant: Well-suited to semi-arid climates, requiring minimal water to establish and thrive.
• Soil Stabilisation: Deep-rooted and clumping growth habit effectively prevents soil erosion, particularly in degraded or sloping areas.
• Forage Value: Provides moderate-quality grazing for livestock, contributing to sustainable mixed-pasture systems.
• Aromatic Foliage: Features broad leaves with a distinctive turpentine-like scent, adding a unique characteristic to rangelands.
• Versatile Growth: Tolerates poor soils and harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for challenging landscapes.

Broad-Leaved Turpentine Grass is a resilient species, suitable for improving grazing systems, restoring degraded lands, and stabilising soils in arid and semi-arid environments. Its robust nature and functional properties make it an asset to sustainable land management practices.
