	Reed (plant) - MSN Encarta
		Reed (plant), common name for two genera of tall, coarse grasses growing in wet places, the stems of which are used in various ways.
		The giant reed is also grown as an ornamental, and because it grows quickly and produces large clumps of thick rhizomes, it is planted to help control soil erosion.
		Stems of the giant reed are important, as well, in wattlework, a form of building in which slender poles or reeds are interwoven to form the framework for supporting crude plastering or thatch roofs.

		The compact panicles are erect or slightly spreading (depending on the plant's reproductive stage), and range from 3 to 16 inches long with branches 2 to 12 inches in length.
		Reed canary grass also resembles non-native orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata), but can be distinguished by its wider blades, narrower, more pointed inflorescence, and the lack of hairs on glumes and lemmas (the spikelet scales).
		Reed canary grass can grow on dry soils in upland habitats and in the partial shade of oak woodlands, but does best on fertile, moist organic soils in full sun.

	Invasive Exotic Plant Tutorial - Reed canary-grass MC
		Reed canarygrass is itself especially good at invading denuded areas and one way to prevent it from becoming established is to control erosion and replant eroded sites with competitive native species (Hoffman and Kearns, 1997).
		Reed canarygrass was practically non-existent in fields after they had been cut five times in one season, even though the fields that had started out as roughly equal mixtures of reed canarygrass, Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), timothy (Phleum sp.) and mixed clovers (Trifolium spp.) (Wilkins and Hughs, 1932).
		Planting fast-growing shrubs or trees may eventually eliminate RCG since it is intolerant of year-round shade, but depending on your management goals and objectives, this may not be a viable option.

	Reed Production
		Contrary to popular belief a reed plant grown from seed is anything but a hardy perennial, in fact it can be killed quite easily in the early stages of its life.
		It is a minor miracle that reeds growing in the natural state generate a microclimate wherein seed can germinate at the base of the reed stand.
		Reeds are labour intensive at the beginning and end of the crop, and in between the regular trimming of the crop means that at no time can one sit back and watch nature have its natural way over matters.

		Like every member of the Reed biology faculty, associate professor Dalton is heavily invested in teaching and face time with students, and so sacrifices some of the time (and grad student help) he might find to do research at the typical graduate school.
		When the Reed group was there, the plants were already 15 feet tall and exceptionally healthy.
		Dalton theorizes that there may be a type of bacteria growing on the plants that allows them to convert nitrogen from the air into usable fertilizer.

		And when the angled cut of the reed is held up to the light you should be able to see a gently sloping "U" shape to the way the fibers thicken going from the tip of the reed all the way through the vamp area (the cut).
		The top of the vamp, where it angles from the reed bark to the very tip, has thousands of little tubules that were used while the reed plant was alive to distribute water.
		When you are through playing the reeds, place them in a special reed case or container that keeps them flat and keeps them at a stable moisture level.
