| Quantity |
|---|
Glycine, a trailing and climbing legume, is a deep-rooting perennial plant, producing long, slender, branched stems that root down at the nodes.
It is suited to well drained, heavier, more fertile soils in cooler regions of the sub-tropics.
It is more drought tolerant than Centro or Desmodium but cannot tolerate very acidic soils or waterlogging.
Glycine also has a higher demand for nutrients than other tropical legumes.
It combines well with tall grasses such as panic grass, Guinea grass or Setaria.
Tinaroo is a semi-erect variety that is slower to establish than Cooper and flowers around 4–6 weeks later.
This variety grows well on scrub soils of south eastern QLD.
Tinaroo gives the best autumn-early winter growth as it flowers very late (mid-June).
It is therefore used in more humid areas with a longer growing season.
It has soft, thin leaves, which are bright green, distinctly different in appearance to Cooper.
Features:
Productive
Moderately drought tolerant
Good seed production
Palatable
Persistent under suitable management
Common Questions
What is Glycine Tinaroo and what's it used for?
Glycine Tinaroo is a trailing and climbing legume — a deep-rooting perennial plant with long, slender, branched stems that root down at the nodes. It's a semi-erect variety suited to well drained, heavier, more fertile soils in cooler regions of the sub-tropics. It combines well with tall grasses like panic grass, Guinea grass or Setaria.
Is Glycine Tinaroo drought tolerant?
Glycine is more drought tolerant than Centro or Desmodium, though it's rated as moderately drought tolerant. It cannot tolerate very acidic soils or waterlogging, so you need good drainage.
When does Tinaroo flower and why does that matter?
Tinaroo flowers very late — around mid-June, which is 4–6 weeks later than Cooper. This late flowering makes it ideal for more humid areas with a longer growing season, as it gives the best autumn and early winter growth.
What soil does Glycine Tinaroo need?
It's suited to well drained, heavier, more fertile soils in cooler regions of the sub-tropics. It grows particularly well on scrub soils of south eastern QLD. It has a higher demand for nutrients than other tropical legumes, so soil fertility matters. It cannot tolerate very acidic soils or waterlogging.
