Sorghum almum
Also called Almum Grass, Almum Sorghum
Columbus grass (Sorghum × almum) is a tall perennial hybrid grass between sorghum and Johnsongrass, grown as summer forage for livestock. It is aggressive and spreads readily, so it is often treated as a weed in parts of the US and Australia.
Sorghum × almum, the Columbus grass, is a hybrid species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. Its parents are Sorghum bicolor × S. halepense (Johnsongrass). Sorghum × almum is one of the most valuable livestock forage and fodder crops during summer in semi-arid and sub-humid areas worldwide. It is considered a noxious weed in several US and Australian states.
