Barlemas

Barlemas is a late-maturing, highly palatable orchardgrass. Barlemas produces a dense, leafy sward without the clumps of traditional orchardgrass. Barlemas is more winter-active which equates to earlier production in spring and later production in fall with proper placement. However, it lacks winterhardiness of less winter-active varieties such as Baridana. Barlemas is an excellent choice for the transition zone and milder areas in the lower midwest and northeast. Barlemas is drought tolerant and produces forage later into the summer. Barlemas exhibits exceptional rust resistance. It is well-suited for grazing and hay production.
