A good season will find a wisp of flower will emerge but never opens or ripens seed.<br /><br />Bio-fuel Elephant grass is M. giganteus and never flowers in this country. I have both species and they are reliable growers and need no management.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958943713830532172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945686662242865677.post-61136471560932651802017-02-05T19:52:29.468+00:002017-02-05T19:52:29.468+00:00All very interesting Philip.

The Miscanthus is very attractive, is that the one that's also grown for bio-fuel, aka Elephant Grass ? Nice to see you at the Tree Strategy morning.<br /><br />5 February 2017 at 19:47 DeleteSteve Blacksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795912451617499115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945686662242865677.post-61661958076879095362017-02-05T19:47:17.704+00:002017-02-05T19:47:17.704+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Steve Blacksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795912451617499115noreply@blogger.com
