Egyptian wheat is good but it will eventually fall over. Then you are back to square one.

Egyptian wheat
You guys that keep mentioning Egyptian wheat need to read my post above. It will lodge(fall over) at some time after maturity. Switchgrass may be a better answer though I have never planted it.

Dig ditch and build berm for quickest and most permanent fix. 811

Privet
cut\'em
I realize that it is classified as invasive, but it can be managed. It grows pretty quick, and makes a very good barrier (thick, and up to 10 feet tall). It is also something that does not have to be replanted. My understanding of the original post was that he wanted something that would grow fairly quickly and make a good and somewhat permanent barrier.
Miscanthus giganteus. Won't have to replant every year like EW.

Bumping this to the top....
Got a new property that we need to add a privacy screen on some road frontage. Is it too late to plant Egyptian wheat this year? I saw it matures in 110 days or so. We only need it to get about 4 feet tall or so to block most of the road frontage due a rolling hill.
If too late this year for Egyptian wheat, what are some other suggestions? Thanks

So close.....
I've never planted it this late but I use Sunn Hemp to block the view on a powerline ROW. It grows to 6-8 feet tall and will die but still stay standing to block the view. As a bonus, deer love it but can't eat it fast enough to stunt it.
