Have grown it for a few years now, a very strong scavenger and a good performer, very good quality grain and a high yielder. Doesn't like drought and high temps, like all Oats.
@CORK will know it even better.

As a spring sown oat, it’s hard to beat over here. Yield, grain quality and straw are excellent. The end users particularly like here it due to lower levels of screenings and high spec weight and kernel content.

Where it particularly stands out and this isn’t a listed trait on the AHDB RL is its resistance to straw breakdown in the event of a delayed harvest. It will stay standing when other varieties become brittle and start to melt.

Bred in Holland. It showed up in our company screening trials here where it shone out. I actually had the opportunity to name it and it was named after my youngest daughter (she’s now 8!).

Third year growing them. Not failed to make milling yet, stand and yield well, around 6t/ha average.
Don’t knock them about with pgr’s.

Grew it last year here for first time after being Canyon for years. I too noticed how well it stood after some pretty bad storms and delayed harvest
