Planting Miscanthus
Planting Miscanthus
Commercially grown Miscanthus is a sterile hybid propagated by planting Rhizomes.
"Miscanthus spreads naturally by means of underground storage organs known as rhizomes. However, their spread is slow and there is little risk of uncontrolled invasion of hedges or fields. These rhizomes can be split and the pieces re-planted to produce new plants. All propagation, maintenance and harvest operations can be done with conventional farm machinery, but dedicated miscanthus planters produce the most even establishment. Semi-automatic potato planters can also give excellent results." LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link )
