Sugar Cane

I got myself nice cane of Black Sugar Cane and would like to grow it along. I was told to cut the cane into logs with 2 bud eyes per log and bury underground 2". I was told the cane will not survive if I planted the cane end (has some roots) in the ground. Anyone else growing Sugar Cane?

 

Scott not sure about the answer to your propogation question. However, I would recommend that once you get it established, plant it next to the fence line of the neighbor you like the least. I believe they are water pigs - near the lake it will go monster ...

 

Moose, Thanks! I found some good info for starting the cane on the net. Wish me luck!

 

I cut the cane into logs with 2-3 buds per log, planting 2" under soil. Easy!

 

Dean, Yes! And I hope to have one like it growing here next year.

 

Scott check out sugar cane handbook from IFAS it has a good section for back yard growing and explains the different variety's Kip

 

Hmmm - I didn't see any sugar cane in your cart yesterday Kip, only palms
