Miscanthus giganteus

Miscanthus giganteus, or 'Insta-Fence' as we like to call it, is one of the tallest growing yet well-behaved, non-invasive grasses available.

Research trials being conducted in the United Kingdom, United States and Ireland are making strides towards developing Miscanthus giganteus as a source of biomass for the production of energy either for direct combustion or through cellulosic ethanol or other biofuel production. Who knows, you're next vehicle may be powered by this grass!

In addition to providing clean and affordable electricity and heat, Miscanthus 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.
