Miscanthus Giganteus - Commonly Know As:

Giant Miscanthus
Giant Chinese Silver Grass
Miscanthus 'Giganteus'
Miscanthus Giganteus is a large perennial grass (it can grow up to 13 feet in height) used for energy production. It is currently used commercially in the UK and Europe with a rapidly growing market demand. In addition to providing clean and affordable electricity and heat, Mi

scanthus is an environmentally friendly crop. Its large root system captures nutrients, and stems provide wildlife cover. As a high yielding, low input perennial, Miscanthus is also excellent for carbon sequestration and soil building. Miscanthus giganteus is a sterile plant established primarily through the planting of rhizomes (shoots) taken from the root ball. Once planted, Miscanthus giganteus requires 2 – 3 years to reach full production potential and has a stand life of about 15 years. Miscanthus giganteus is a C4 plant which has a high photosynthesis efficiency. The normal production cycle of Miscanthus giganteus is a single harvest late in the fall or early spring before new shoots emerge. This allows the nutrients to return to the root system and the plant material to dry to a moisture content of less than 15% prior to harvest. Miscanthus giganteus is harvested using readily available farm equipment.
