Roots on new greens

We are very pleased with the root growth on our newly sprigged greens.  The photo below is a sample from #8 green which was sprigged with TifEagle Bermudagrass six and a half weeks ago.  The rule of thumb for plants in general is that the root depth is equal to the height of above ground growth (so rough mowed at 2" would have a 2" deep root system).  Our challenge with greens is that they are mowed at .135" so you can imagine how excited we are to see these nice roots 4+" deep.
