1 Botanically Miscanthus × giganteus J.M.Greef & Hodkinson ex Renvoize.
Why Clone Illinois? Our material traces back to the widely studied sterile Miscanthus × giganteus clone associated with University of Illinois research, and is maintained through documented vegetative propagation from disease-free in vitro mother stock.
A rhizome is not just a piece of root. It is stored energy for next year’s growth. The more often that material is propagated - grown, lifted, cut, stored, and replanted - the less reserve it has left.
You wouldn’t buy a degraded battery. So why plant one?
Why generation matters
Traceable early-generation stock (G1 & G2)
Clean genetics and full vigour
Close to the original in vitro source, this stock ensures uniform establishment and the strongest first-year performance.
Unclassified old-generation stock
Drift, disease, and decline
Decades of re-multiplication lead to accumulated pathogens, black mould, weaker buds, mixed material, and unknown history.
Our material vs alternative
From laboratory to your field
Lab-derived & disease-free
Elite, disease-free in-vitro Clone Illinois — the clean G0 source stock.
Acclimatised & selected
About half don't survive the transition; only the strongest become our mother stock.
Rhizomes lifted
Selected G1–G2 rhizomes lifted with a documented generation and strong establishment.
Ready to plant
Traceable rhizomes delivered to your land — one planting, yields for 20+ years.
Independent, globally recognised supervisors oversee every critical stage, from lab-derived starting material to rhizome lifting. This guarantees clear genetic origin, full traceability, verified generation status, and assurance that the delivered material matches your order.
Inside the process
every rhizome the same way
Every batch runs the same route — lifted dormant, soil shaken off, washed twice, treated with a protective fungicide, then graded and held at +1–3 °C until loading. The photos and footage are our own; the washing and treatment happen between the frames.
