I plant a lot of these "ornamental grasses" around commercial and residential landscapes. These sure look nice, but here's a reason not to put them close to your house or barn. With the flick of a cigarette or whatever, they will go up fast. I burn most of what we haul back when we cut it down yearly for our customers. It does make me nervouse when I get 4 or 5 trailer fulls worth, it's a big fire!! I split it into several piles to try and be safe. This is about 2 trailer fulls and it went up in about 3 minutes. It is flammable stuff when dry. I compost everything else or grind the brush into mulch, but this stuff just won't break down unless chopped up.
