Ruby (Dual-Purpose) is an Australian industrial hemp cultivar bred in 1998 throughout the Bundaberg region in Queensland, Australia. As a Dual-Purpose variety, Ruby can be sown throughout Australia before Christmas (September–November) to achieve a dual-purpose crop, or sown early in the year (January–March) to achieve a higher percentage of grain relative to biomass. Ruby has successfully been grown in rotation with other intensive crops, such as cotton and corn.
Best Fit: Growers focused on consistency and scale
King Gee 2.0 is an industrial hemp cultivar developed in Australia in the 1990s, known for its high biomass and late flowering traits, making it ideal for fibre and hurd production. It can be planted between September and December and typically flowers in April, reaching up to five metres in height after around 90 days of growth. The cultivar performs well across diverse Australian climates, consistently producing strong fibre and hurd yields.
Best Fit: Mixed cultivation environments
A unique fibre line identified within our Farnsfeld cultivar, Wongarra, emerged as a dominant later flowering variety, possessing strong phenotypic attributes such as tall growth, high yield potential, and minimal branching from the core stems. Wongarra is HFA’s fastest fibre production variety, reaching optimal yield and ideal fibre-to-hurd composition for harvesting within approximately 120 days.
