Zhukovsky

An ancient wheat species from the Republic of Georgia and Russia. It is a hexaploid grain, formed from a cross between Triticum timopheevii and Triticum monococcum. The plant has bearded heads approximately 5cm long and is great for cultivation in various climates due to its adaptability and drought resistance. While primarily grown as a specialty crop for genetic diversity and heritage conservation, it can be ground into flour for use in traditional breads and pastas. Zhukovsky Wheat is rare and valued for its unique genetic traits and historical significance. Sow in spring.
