Gooseneck Sorghum Distinct Yet largely Unknown In 19th Century Notes
Hy Carleton KH Ball describes Gooseneck sorghum as a distinct, likely African-origin variety, once common 1870 to 1890 and now mostly forgotten. In Texas it was mistaken for Texas seeded ribbon cane, features tall stalks 10 to 12 feet, red lower stems, goose necked dark heads five to nine inches long, and yields high juice. It matures after Amber and Orange sorghums, not ideal for northern climates but favored for droughty southern regions. Orange sorghum is heavier, taller, with larger leaves and denser heads.
