CALL FOR PRICING
A tough old world bluestem for range and reclamation — establishes on rough ground and holds it through drought.
SIZECALL FOR CURRENT PACK SIZES & AVAILABILITY
Old World Bluestems include several species of perennial warm-season grasses introduced from Eastern Europe and Asia from as early as 1917. Since that time more introductions have been made from Russia, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Turkey. These various species are adapted to a wide variety of soils but prefer clay loam and loam soils.
Takes hold on rough seedbeds where other grasses fail.
Performs on marginal, shallow, and disturbed soils.
Persists through the dry cycles that thin other stands.
Fibrous root system holds soil on slopes and disturbed ground.
Produces without a fertility or irrigation program.
Warm-season production when cool-season pasture is dormant.
Quality declines with maturity — graze or hay before it gets stemmy.
