what type of root system does a clover have
White clover has runners or stolons that provide a secondary root system and energy storage for regrowth and grazing tolerance. White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is a cool season perennial legume of Mediterranean origin.White clover has been used as a forage in North American since Colonial times. Benjamin Franklin noted its prevalence in cleared and disturbed land as early as 1746.n addition, white clover is a cool season forage so it can improve (at least as an annual) the forage distribution and production of warm season pastures like bermudagrass and bahiagrass on wetter soils.
