Miscanthus Growth over a Single Growing Season in Illinois

A person stands in front of a miscanthus stand with a measuring stick; the miscanthus is nearly double her height.

Miscanthus has been explored extensively as a potential energy crop in Europe and now is being tested in the United States. The scale is in feet. These experiments demonstrate results that are feasible in development of energy crops. (Caption from 2006)
