Korjaj Sorghum

Korjaj is a landrace grain sorghum from the Darfur region of Sudan, Afrika. This has proven to be one of the easiest sorghum varieties for getting clean seed threshed from the mature grain heads. It is short in stature, reaching 6 - 8 feet in height, and well adapted to growing in diverse climates. My plot here in Northern Indiana did well in poor sandy soil and zero irrigation during a summer plagued with drought. The stalks will continue to produce new grain heads right up until frost. Korjaj can also be used as a sweet sorghum, with the canes pressed to make syrup.
