Barley, Burbank Black Hulless  A special find from a seed exchange! This is a completely hulless barley that grows 30-36" tall, staying upright and erect. Glumes (the hull around the grain) are pale and white and the awns ( the long tips that form from the glume) are jet black. The grains themselves are a very dark gray- nearly black. Can be substituted for wheat in bread, pancakes, baked goods, and sprouted to make malt for beer. Very rewarding to grow. Bred by the legendary Luther Burbank. 6 row. Plant in fall or early spring.

Barley, Kamamuji Hordeum vulgare (140 days from early spring sowing, or 270 days from a fall sowing) The most productive barley for our climate in a trial of 10 varieties.
