Timothy( Phleum pratense L.) is a valuable forage grass in cool, humid climates. However, the availability of genetic material within the species from over a broad geographic and latitudinal range, and the generally marginal winterhardiness of the species in Alaska has lent uncertainty to optimum ge...
