Alfalfa Grass

Alfalfa is a strongly perennial plant which is able to live thirty years or more under favourable conditions.

It has a typical taproot; that is, the root system consists of a strong main root from which secondary side roots branch off.

As there are no runners or creeping roots, all the overground branches start from the uppermost part of the taproot which generally protrudes above the ground and is known as the crown.

With increasing age, the crown is apt to split into two or more branches, the upper ends of which are free and form a kind of tuft, sometimes of considerable circumference.

The main root, which when old is an inch or so thick and rather woody, finds its way down to a considerable depth if the soil permits.

On the roots are found the nodules, typical of the leguminous plants.

They are on the finer branches and are clustered together into irregular bunches.

The stems, which in old plants are exceedingly numerous, are generally from two to three feet high at flowering time.

As a rule, they are little branched, especially when the stand is dense.

They are round below, more or less angular towards the top, and usually smooth.
