[Syrupmakers] Syrupmakers Digest, Vol 18, Issue 3

[karrind karrind]

I'm still looking for a source of the old Goose Neck sweet sorghum. It
is thought to be an African variety and the the seeds are black. It is
large and may reach 12' tall and 2" wide. It was widely grown in the
1800's and early 1900's. Thanks for the link to
http://www.bountifulgardens.org/info/Sorghum%20Varieties.pdf but the
Goose Neck that they list is a grain sorghum that only reaches 6'
tall.

Thanks
Rex
