Default Re: Anybody growing Sugar Cane?

I can attest that Sugar Cane is rewarding to grow, and when it gets warm out, it can grow almost like corn! I would not be without it for the aforementioned reasons, including using it as the best sweetener for sun tea. Cut the pulp and put it out with the jar in the sun, and you have the best tasting sun tea ever.

I do offer it in 4" pots at my nursery, but I'm afraid I cannot import the plants overseas. However, if you do purchase it, make sure you confirm that the one you get is edible. I'd also recommend buying it rooted, because some people have a tough time trying to root sections, depending on the time of year and the maturity of the stalk.

Good luck, and you won't be sorry!
