Clover id

[Jogeephus]

Just wondering if any of you know what type clover this is. I think it came in some crimson seed about six years ago and it has done really well as a weed. It is still green in all this heat and its about 2 feet high now. I think I know what it is but I'd feel better if one of you experts id'ed it.

Looks like it could be Yuchi Airleaf clover or maybe Apache Airleaf.
Run Apache where I am at and love it, it really comes on about this time of year.

Do a search for Arrowleaf clover or Yuchi Arrowleaf clover. I think you'll find thats what you have.

Looks like arrowleaf to me. Will get waist deep and cattle love it.

Arrowleaf for sure. I would say the variety is Meeche due to the pinkish flower. From what I have seen, Yuchie has a white flower.

That looks a lot like it except the flowers are not as ballish. Some are oblong and there is some pink in it. But in general its got to be the arrowleaf. I've never planted any so I've never seen it grow. I got one plant of a few years ago and now I have several. Its tall and drought and heat tolerant. I think I'm going to try some next year. I have heard of Yuchi arrowleaf. Is this the most popular variety?

I tried it several years ago but did not perform well...my soils are too alkaline...PH of 8.0. I know "Apache" works well in East Texas.

maybe its a new hybrid of Yuchi and crimson. better get a patent. you can call it Yuchison... like Danielson but with Yuchi instead.

Jogee - glad you brought this up. Last year it was late June before I got around to breaking up my oat land. Something caught my eye and when I stopped to look it turned out to be arrowleaf clover, not sure exactly which variety. I have rented this piece of ground since 2001 from my uncle. He used to plant haygrazer on this ground. The only way I believe it got into the patch is by his custom baler. For it to make and appearance after 7 leads me to think it would be very hardy. Kind of forgot about it till now.

Most of the "forage specialist" around here are pushing yuchi, durana, and ball clovers.

Good idea Beefy! Once I get the patent on it do you reckon I could get about $80 per acre technology fee from everyone using it too? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Of course I'm sure you would be wanting a small yearly stipend for inventing the name and all. ;-) :lol:

We call it Jogeephus Clover down here in Fl. They say some guy invented it in S. Ga. I was going to send him a royalty check since we sell it for hay here in the south for $ 80 per role. :banana:

Don't bother mailing the check to me. Just mail it to my fertilizer man cause I got the bill today. :shock: :cry2: :cry2: :help: I sure wish I could get some kind of royalty check.

Agree, I also wish the fertilizer man would actaully bring fertilizer when I pay for it!
Not a empty truck!!!

I got some of that clover growing in one of my hay fields. I don't know where it came from but it sure does grow good in that field.

 

[Jogeephus]

That's what interests me about this one. It just appeared around the barn and it is spreading wonderfully. I'm also impressed by its heat and drought tolerance. Gonna have to give it a try next fall. I like clover.

I planted a clover a few years ago that looked similar to this. If I remember right, the name was alice clover. It's a cold tolerant as well as a warm weather variety. Didn't do good at my place caude my ph was off at the time.

Alice (white clover) has a more rounded leaf. Markings are quite similar.
