Notes on varieties:
– Bearcat Red Clover – an Indiana-bred medium red clover; known for outstanding yield and persistence; aggressive regrowth; excellent disease resistance package; a hardy variety that will give you consistent, long-term productivity in adverse environments
– Frosty Berseem Clover – draws deer to your plot as well as, if not better, than any clover on the market; excellent palatability; high protein food source with impressive feed value
– Jumbo II Ladino Clover – derived from selections of Jumbo plus additional parentage chosen for superior tiller density and disease resistance; exhibits aggressive tillering – provides a dense canopy of forage; bred and selected for the US market; legumes typically prefer pH levels in the low 6’s – Jumbo II has shown that it often does well in the low to mid 5 pH range
– Stamina White Clover – long-lasting, high-yielding clover; new intermediate-type selected for higher forage yield and persistence under extreme grazing pressure; high stolon density and rooting, resulting in great persistence
– Aberlasting White Clover – a hybrid between white clover and caucasian clover; drought-tolerant; excellent tolerance of cold temperatures and freezing; good forage quality; shows excellent tolerance of grazing, recovering faster than conventional varieties
The exclusion cages tell the difference. You can see the excellent growth inside the cage while the outside shows off the outstanding palatability of the forage.
