The plants produce seed from May through October in west Texas.
Blend of two native populations collected in Brewster and Terrell Counties of west Texas.
Has superior plant vigor, seed production, and biomass production compared to available sideoats grama releases when grown in west Texas.
Sideoats grama produces abundant forage for all classes of livestock and is an important source of cover and food for quail and other wildlife in west Texas.
Because of the plant’s stature and fast-growing seedlings, it has good competitive ability with many non-native grasses.
Stands should not be grazed in the planting year to allow adequate rootstock development.
Long-lived perennial that is extremely drought and fire tolerant once established.
