Hiding a field from the road???

Consider loblolly pine or shortleaf pine available from the TN Div. of Forestry. I ordered 500 a week ago to provide a screen at a recent clearcut. They are available at: https://www.tn.gov/agriculture/topic/ag ... -seedlings . Cheap, easy to plant, no sales tax, shipped free to your county. Pines grow 2-3' per year after the first year. Avoid Autumn Olive because it is not native and is sometimes invasive.

I would be hesitant to introduce fountaingrass to your property. It could easily spread and possibly be the next kudzu, etc. I'm with treefarmer- use a row of lobleaf or shortleaf, with a row of something shrubbier like Va pine or cedar staggered in between. All it would take is a little snow or a big wind and it will flatten those tall grasses.

I have used Kenaf before. I prefer Bi-Color and pines, however. BSK is correct. One strain looks exactly like Pot. Does not smoke as well though ….. :mrgreen:

Switchgrass with intermittent pine would work if you could get use of a Native Warm Season drill……. just another thought.

Switchgrass would work good because it can get 4-5 feet tall and it's a perennial so it will come back year after year. If you need something taller then maybe egyptian wheat. Read this over the weekend: http://www.deerfoodplots.org/deer-food- ... eail-deer/

I read an article on Egyptian wheat a few months ago. Gets around 10 ft tall.
