Any size is satisfactory for planting. Lower photo shows bitter panicum with young, actively growing tillers (right of ruler) and larger, mature primary culms (left of ruler). Primary culms were best for fall through early spring planting; in late spring and summer, tillers had high survival combined with rapid establishment. 112.
