Narrative

Maturity late, yield high, head large suitable for feeding both caged and wild birds. Like other annual canarygrass, tillers profusely and lodges severely when soil fertility is high and moisture plentiful. Can be sown with a grain drill and combine-harvested either direct or from the window. Panicles compact, oval shaped, spike-like, retain seed firmly so that shattering losses usually small.
