Grow Oakridge® Kikuyu — Join the Network

Oakridge® Kikuyu is a PBR-protected, scientifically developed variety backed by more than 50 years of Australian turf research. It’s in demand across residential, commercial, sports, and racing applications — and we’re looking for the right growers to supply it.

If you have the land, the infrastructure, and the ambition to grow a premium variety with serious market credentials, we’d like to hear from you.

Why Grow Oakridge®?

A variety with real market pull

Oakridge® is non-seeding, male-sterile, and allergen-free — genuine differentiators that consumers and commercial buyers actively seek out. You’re not selling a commodity.

PBR protection works in your favour

As a licensed grower, you’re backed by Australian Plant Breeder’s Rights protection. The variety is yours to grow under licence — it can’t be undercut by unlicensed competitors growing the same thing.

Regional exclusivity — where applicable

In many cases, growers are offered exclusive or preferred supply arrangements within their region. That means less competition and a stronger local market position.

Elite Green’s marketing engine behind you

We handle the brand, the website, the collateral, and the consumer and commercial marketing. You focus on growing — we bring the enquiries to you.

Science you can sell

Oakridge® Kikuyu is developed under licence from Dr Donald S. Loch of Genegro Pty Ltd — one of Australia’s most prolific warm-season turfgrass researchers, with 50+ years of experience, multiple peer-reviewed publications, and formal evaluation of kikuyu varieties at the scientific level. That’s the credibility behind every conversation you have with a prospect.

What We’re Looking For

We work with serious, commercially-focused turf growers.

As a guide:

— Established turf growing infrastructure and experience
