Notes:
This Grass has been growing in clumps at the edge of my woods for several years now. The grass stalks are brittle if bent but resilient to wind and can last standing throughout the winter. I have looked to identify it but Tall Blue Stem grass is said to grow to 6 to 8 feet….the grass stalks on my clumps are up to 10 to 12 feet tall. Nothing I have researched tells me that it grows this tall. My numerous deer have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever.

I wish I could see more of other details i.e. the whole culms, ligue, top & back side of the collar, etc…I’m wondering if yours is a species in the Saccharum genus (?). Check out these included links for some of the species that grown in GA. the first link is for the BONAP of North America Plant Atlas. Best wishes! http://bonap.net/Napa/TaxonMaps/Genus/County/Saccharum
