AC Christie red clover

AC Christie red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a diploid cultivar of the double-cut type. It was developed by phenotypic selection at the Crop and Livestock Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Charlottetown, PEI. It is early flowering, very winterhardy and has no pubescence on the stems. In Atlantic Canada it has produced more forage than the check cultiv ars in the second and third harvest years.
