Artificial Grass & Plum Tree

I would like to put artificial grass around a plum tree but I'm a bit concerned when the plums falls onto the grass - a). will the acid in the fruit eat away the artificial grass b). will I be able to clean fruit off? I just have a feeling this will not work but would like to know if anyone has any experience with artifical grass.

p.s. This is a second home so not there all year round to do usual gardening work.

 

on the latest edition of garden-er, they used artificial grass .... looked pretty good

not sure what happens with fruit falling on the grass though ... perhaps it can be washed off with a hose and will not stain ? .... best to ask the suppliers

here is the link to the video:

on this site, they say that if anything gets spilled on the grass, it needs to be hosed down immediately

so, looks like you may need to sharpen those lawnmower blades and use the old fashioned grass ...

if the grass is struggling to grow under the tree, you can possibly seed with shade loving grass seed?
