Ask What's In StockMatch three things to your ground: fall dormancy, disease-resistance ratings, and your cutting schedule. Tell us your soil, region, and how you cut, and we'll narrow it down with you.
A lower rating means faster fall growth but less winter hardiness. Match it to your winters.
Strong ratings protect stand life against threats like Phytophthora root rot and Verticillium wilt.
HarvXtra, for example, shines on a delayed 35-day interval. Your interval changes the best pick.
