Narrative
Seed heads may appear almost glabrous and resemble A. intermedium, but basal leaves always hairy, particularly on margins. Leaves wide, lax, and dark green. Herbage production high and more palable than intermediate wheatgrass. Seedling vigor and ease of establishment outstanding. Best suited for dryland pasture on deeper soils of the Rocky Mountains and Inter-mountain region.
