Highest ranked for hard defoliation ground cover
Very good cover after light defoliation
Good spring yield in second and third year
Very versatile variety


Hard defoliation (e.g. sheep)

As expected for a small leaved variety the ground cover under hard defoliation is good - even very good for GALWAY.

Light defoliation

More surprisingly; GALWAY shows good ground cover in autumn after light defoliation, proving that the variety is very versatile and adapts to the type of use.

Spring yield

The spring yield in second and third year is good, as a result of the good persistency and early start in spring.

One of the most versatile white clovers available on the market

Hard or light defoliation, GALWAY will adapt to different managements and animals.


Autumn ground cover 1-9 (9 = good)
