Can someone identify what this tall grass is? Captured along in a drainage ditch along the road mid-state MN. Thinking it would make a great wildlife screen.
Phragmite if I recall the name but as I recall it's bad news and highly invasive to anyplace that has wet soil. I could be wrong as I am sure others are far more familiar with the stuff than I, but I think that is what you have a picture of there.
I believe the farmer planted it in a lower, wet area of his hay field. It has not spread in the past couple of years that I can tell. I've admired how it grows and stands each year through winter. Better than the Big Bluestem & Indian Grass mix I'm trying to get established for my screen.
