Balansa Clover

Balansa clover is the most cold-tolerant annual clover, surviving temperatures as low as -14. Where it does overwinter, balansa is capable of growing over 200 lbs of nitrogen biomass and it even has a hollow stem making it an option for roller crimping. This can also be used for a high yielding, high protein feed before transitioning to the next summer crop. To have the best chance at winter survivability, plant earlier than other overwintering species.
