Pacific Bluestem

Hard white wheat, as described by BOU, my original source. Also described as soft to semi-hard. Spring wheat. Awnless. Hulless. Appx 31"/79 cm tall. Flavorful. Excellent for bread. Reportedly also known as "White Lammas," it was brought to the USA from Australia in the 1850s. The most popular white wheat in the US in the early 1920s. 1,336,000 acres (540,660 hectares) sown in 1919. It is the wheat that made San Francisco sourdough famous. Well adapted to California, northern Idaho, and eastern Washington and Oregon. Growing instructions: Start in flats 10 days before last frost. Transplant in cool weather so that the growing period will only have about one month of hot weather near harvest time. Transplant 5" apart when 2-3" high. Cease watering when 85% of the seed heads are golden and harvest when almost all are. Dry fully before storing. Matures: 17-19 week
