    We had no drought here last year either, I'm assuming winter kill as well. We had some really cold temps with little snow to insulate the ground at times last winter.

    That looks awesome, how old is that? Have you ever experienced winter kill?

    Never. Going on 5yrs old just hoping the spray truck respects the screen and prevents as much spray drift as possible.

    Wow- im sure I’m looking at switchgrass inside there- incredible how much taller miscanthus is. Looks really nice!

    looks great. If your talking about the ditch spray, you should be fine. Its selective and doesn't kill grass.

    Here is some 4th year stuff. Already taller than last year due to severe drought in 2017... And this stuff has a long ways to go. MG LOVES water. Probably 10'+ this year by time done. I hit it with gly and atrazine before it was sprouted. Pretty much weed free around it which probably helped also.

    I checked some 2nd year miscanthus today. It stands somewhere between 7 or 8 foot. There is a lot of volunteer grass mixed in, but the miscanthus didn't seem too effected by it. [​IMG]
