Abyssinian Winter Barley is a 2-rowed, black hulled, awned cultivar originally developed in California by the USDA in the mid 1910s. Its protein content is 15%. Plants tiller impressively.

Abyssinian Winter Barley suffered lodging of a few outer-edge plants for us in 2021 when we had a very wet and windy June.
