Narrative
Awesome is a very dark green variety with a slightly earlier heading and flowering maturity than Award and NuGlade. In seed production fields, Awesome is slightly taller than NuGlade and not quite as uniform in appearance. Culm length at maturity in Post Falls, ID, averages 52 cm and panicle length, 8.5 cm. Culm length exhibits some plant-to-plant variation throughout the field due to the underlying soil conditions. In poorer soil the plants appear smaller and the culm length shorter. Culms are smooth to the touch and the flag leaf is slightly rough when felt against the grain. Overall shape of a spaced plant is rather ball shaped, meaning that the lateral leaves and panicles give the plant a roundish appearance. Leaf color is a medium dark green with predominantly green culms with very little yellow color to the culms. Panicle color is a mixture of medium green and light purple at anthesis. Rhizome extension after one year averages 26 cm in diameter.
