      Kleingrass is an introduced bunch grass from Africa that grows 24 to 60 inches tall. Kleingrass will increase by seeds as well as from the original plant via tillers. Kleingrass is planted for grazing and ahy production in Texas. Fertilizer is necessary for optimum growth in monoculture stands. Kleingrass is good forage for cattle but can cause photosensitization, also known as swellhead, in sheep and goats as well as liver damage in horses, sheep, and goats. Kleingrass provides fair forage for deer and the seeds are utilized by birds. Kleingrass is sensitive to cold temperatures but can recover from heavy freezes via dormant seed.
