I planted some this past year. It was the worst drought I have ever seen. However, it went in early and we had good rain up until June so it must have rooted itself pretty good. It all survived. This was in pretty good soil. If it was marginal soil, I think it probably would have died.
That’s always a gamble. If you get them in early spring - success goes up. Earlier the better imo. Most years- u likely will be just fine.
How many rows was that and how old is the stand?
Have you tried spraying quinclorac yet on your miscanthus? If so how did it work? Im thinking of trying it because i have too much foxtail.
Yeah worked great
I have about 650 yards of it on a heavy clay, no fertilizer ever, 9 years old and it has grown great. It's about 11' tall now, I have 150 yards of it on some bottom black dirt and it is just a little bit taller but stand is just as thick, no fertilizer as well. The feather inert seed heads will put it to 12' at both places I'm sure.
As somone who sells it i can tell you prices change alot based on quantity. So that's a good place to start the discussion. Some folks want 100 rhizomes. Some want 10,000.
