Description
Frosty Berseem Clover is an erect, late-maturing,annual clover, suited for grazing/ hay and wildlife forage in high or medium rainfall areas or under irrigation. Frosty Berseem produces slender, hollow, branched stems and trifoliate leaves. It has vigorous winter and spring growth. It is particularly productive on heavy soils and can withstand periods of waterlogging. Berseem Clover, also known as Egyptian Clover, is sometimes referred to as annual alfalfa because it produces very high-quality protein fodder, similar to that of alfalfa. The added benefit of Berseem Clover is that it is not known to cause bloat. Unlike varieties such as Balady, and other single-cut berseem varieties, Frosty Berseem is a multi-cut berseem, which will provide multiple grazing or hay cuttings from late winter to late spring.
