Columbia Brome

Columbia Brome is a perennial bunchgrass that is found in full sun or partial shade throughout coniferous forests and oak savannahs, from sea level to lower subalpine elevations. The growth of this grass is spread between California and Alaska, reaching into western Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. It can grow in both dry and moist areas, reaching heights that range from half a foot to four feet tall. The shade tolerance for Columbia Brome reaches its limit around 30%. Coarse or medium textured soils will sustain this valuable forage grass which is frequently used in pasture seed mixes throughout California, to graze livestock that live on both summer and winter ranges.
