Narrative
Good for seed production because the seeds ripen all at once. Seed maturity 10 to 14 days before wild types, not as tall as the wild types. Erect with a single upright stem, seldom more than 4 feet tall. In leafyness the plants compare favorably with wild type plants. Because the stems are thin, the hay is not coarse.
