It’s been a while since I’ve researched switchgrass. A few years back, when I was looking into it pretty seriously, it seemed like everyone was recommending cave-in-rock switch. At that time, the consensus on that variety was that it held up the best under a snow load. Has that opinion changed?

That’s impressive! I hope mine grow like that!

Here’s what my baby Concordia’s look like. Some have dropped all their leaves while a few are holding strong. Is it typical to see this much red on them, perhaps it’s because they’re just babies?

Oops, I replied to mattpatt, Sorry! Meant to ask you, how old is that tree in the pic? Also does it produce acorns?

I should also mention that a forum member sent me 20 or so acorns last year, all of which I started in rootmaker cells prior to transplanting in to 3 gal fabric pots. I’d like to give the forum member credit for sending me those as it was a tremendous gesture and extremely appreciated, but I...

My understanding is that the original trees that used to live at that rest stop were bulldozed into oblivion a few years back when the rest stop was expanded. Is that not the case? Is there a known (public) spot or spots in Concordia that the Concordia’s are growing where acorns can be gathered...

Good morning. I just read your post about some columnar oaks you purchased from a nursery near you that grew fast & produced well. I live on a farm near Beatrice, curious what specific species you bought and the nursery if you don’t mind sharing. Thanks!
