orchardgrass
Livestock grazing plant
Orchardgrass is a tall, clump-forming perennial grass widely cultivated for hay and pasture.
Native to Europe, it thrives in shaded areas—hence the name, from its ability to grow under orchard trees.
The grass establishes quickly and recovers well after grazing: The field was planted with a mix of orchardgrass and clover.
