Description: RC Big Rock is a new late season variety of upland switchgrass developed from Cave-in-Rock. Very tall height and high yield potential – likely to reach 7′ tall along the I-35 states, and up to a foot taller moving east to Wisconsin and beyond. It is the tallest upland switchgrass released to date. Genetically improved for ease of establishment, upright growth habit and increased height, making it an ideal choice for screening. Provides a better wintering habitat for pheasants and quail than Cave-in-Rock; better standability than all other commercial upland cultivars of switchgrass. Well adapted to drill-seeding. Can be frost seeded, but may be risky on sandy soil. Excellent winter hardiness (Zone 4A) Like Cave-in-Rock it grows well on diverse soil types and has a wide regional adaptation to states in the mid-west and northeast regions (Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania). Due its later maturity, it is also well suited for use in Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Virginia and West Virginia. Best adapted to regions that receive on average greater than 26″ of average annual precipitation. Seeding Rate lbs / acre: 6.0-8.0 (10 for screening) Height: up to 7’+ Listing is for a 3lb bag (approximately 774,000 seeds) Free shipping to lower 48
