With a tillered growth habit, the Cayman grass
produces abundant stolons. In addition, in high
moisture conditions, this grass modifies its
growth habit and develops, early during its
growth cycle, a large number of decumbent
stems, which produce tillers and roots at the
nodes, a characteristic similar to that of
Brachiaria humidicola. These superficial roots
give the plant support, absorb nutrients, and
supply oxygen to the plant in these adverse conditions of poor drainage..
