Guessing he means miscanthus giganteus.Not sure what MG is, but what about something like switchgrass? It's pretty hard once established.
GBR!
An evergreen like Norway Spruce might be an option?I am looking for something to plant along a fenceline for screen. Normally I'd just go with MG but the limiting factor here is the lack of dirt. You get about 2 inches down and it's rock. Not solid rock, but chunk rock. Will MG still grow in that situation?
yes sirGuessing he means miscanthus giganteus.
Looking forward to a better seasonNot sure what MG is, but what about something like switchgrass? It's pretty hard once established.

it's chunk rock....baseball size mixed in with gravely stuff. How tall is that switch grass?What do you have below two inches? Solid rock or gravelly stuff? I would guess that MG would be stunted there. But only a guess. A very hardy switch might be a better option. I seeded some on an old gravel roadbed that i cant get a shovel into more than 2 inches and its a decent stand now 3 years later.
Well considering I want all of my cedar trees gone.....gone gone gone gone! Did I mention I want them gone? lolIf I lived in OK and wanted a good screen in an area with good sunshine, I'd consider transplanting cedar trees (sorta of what Fish implied) that will reach 5-6 feet in just a few years. My guess is you can get all you want from several land owners for free. They grow like a weed (damn near grow on top of a flat rock) and hot dry weather doesn't seem to bother them. I imagine they are considered invasive in much of OK. If you have enough room for a double row with staggered plantings, you'll end up with a pretty good screen. However, it might make your neighbors frown .... good luck
Ok. Thats pretty much what i deal with on these roadbeds. That switch ended up around 4 ft last year. Its Cave in Rock and has heavy competition. I wasnt taking care of it because i didnt think it was there until last summer....... its 3rd growing season. Then it just sort of showed up after id given up on it. This year it should do much better.it's chunk rock....baseball size mixed in with gravely stuff. How tall is that switch grass?
