Timothy



Timothy is the most widely sown forage grass in Ontario and is commonly grown in mixtures with alfalfa or birdsfoot trefoil. It is a bunchgrass with limited tillering ability, which makes it non-aggressive when sown with other species. It is easy to establish in early spring or late summer and is adapted to heavier soils and variable drainage. Timothy is palatable and high yielding in first cut. Regrowth after first cut and mid-season production is not as high as that from either bromegrass or orchardgrass.
