Solina, Wheat
Solina is a traditional soft red wheat landrace, originating in the Abruzzo region of 16th century Italy. Adapted to mountain climates, Solina is highly prized for its superior baking quality, and considered excellent for bread and pasta.
Additional Info:
16th century Italian landrace
Winter/Soft Red
60” Tall/50 tillers
4 1/4” grain heads
Fast to mature
Very cold tolerant
Survives prolonged snowpack
Excellent baking and pasta
Can improve other flours
High Grow Biointensive yield (2021)
Valuable for acclimatization
Long awns
We’ve fallen in love with Solina and have been working at selecting the plants with the most abundant tillers for 3 years. Very well adapted to our cold mountainous climate, high yielding! Solina can even be added to other flours to improve flavor and baking quality! This is a must have for anyone into wheat!
Solina shows very quick adaptability, with a standout plant in 2020 reaching 60” in height with 50 tillers!
Solina was also 1 of 2 varieties (Ukrainka as well) to cope with our 2020/2021 snow pack of 5 months, showing little damage and full recovery come spring.
Note: Very susceptible to lodging, we recommend supporting Solina as seed begins to add weight to the tops of plants.
