I plan to. I bet I'll be the first one in my state to, too. Haha. That banana looks to have quite the frostbite. You're in zone 9, perhaps just stick to hardier cultivars?

I've got 400 acres of cane at work, does that count?

I thought the pineapple diaries thread was dedicated to sugar cane.

http://www.bananas.org/f8/pineapple-diaries-17309.html

I have black, Georgia Red, a produce market green type (could be Yellow Ga)l that are growing in pots. Also have some Yellow Gal and red/green ribbon type started.

Nick, do you know what the name of the red/green ribbon cane might be? Is it the Louisiana Ribbon Thirteen Oaks Farm and Cane Mill - Sugar Cane Varieties (Ribbon Cane)

As far as the taste, because my palate is used to tons of white processed sugar, chewing on actual sugar cane tasted like slightly sweet soft wood pulp. I was not impressed. If you don't eat a lot of sugar, or did not grow up eating white sugar, I'm sure it would be quite tasty.

I wonder if people who grow different varieties make any syrups from them and if they taste distinct from the "regular" sugar cane, whichever that would be?

Unfortunately it didn't come with a name tag, it just got planted. A few people around here call it red stripe, but it does look like ribbon cane.

Thanks, only things I've found when google searching "red stripe sugar cane" was in reference to some disease in sugar cane called "red stripe disease".

Your area of Louisiana should be almost perfect for growing sugar cane. That brings up the queston "What do you know about growing sugar cane?"
There is a lot of information on the web about the various aspects of caring for cane as well as a myriad of other plants.

To see if you are doing something wrong try this site for information from planting to harvesting sugar cane.

I have heard that Sugar Cane mulch is real good for you plants. They break down quick and the sugar feeds the soil organisms.
