Small harvest

A small harvest was made in late winter of the miscanthus grass for analysis. There was a significant difference between the stem and the leaf portion of the grass. The stem was very stiff and long.The leaves were similar to more traditional grass and was loose and stringy. Harvesting the stems is most desirable, but might prove to be difficult.
