This free threshing, hard red winter wheat was sent to me from my farmer friend Kevin Payne in Southern California. The packet was simply labeled “Georgian Winter Bread Wheat”. I suspect that it may be a strain of Tsiteli Doli, although it was a little shorter and matured one week earlier than the Tsiteli Doli. It also exhibited a lot of diversity in grain heads, similar to the Tsiteli Doli, ranging from reddish heads, to blond and a small percentage of blackish heads. It had fairly good yields and showed no signs of disease or lodging.
