Longevity and establishment of red clover in grassland was examined in field studies in Nordland County and in experiments at Tjøtta and Løken in Norway. Red clover plants in old swards showed very high age and a branched root system. Only a few seedlings were found suggesting that self-seeding was insignificant. Experiments with leaving the grassland after the first cut for seed production of clover failed due to poor seed production. Surface seeding of red clover in pure grass plots gave good results, especially with early spring seeding.
