Title: Anyone Grow Sugar Cane
Post by: Haddon on April 05, 2012, 04:47:47 pm

I want a start of sugar cane but have no clue where to get a stalk.
I found some on ebay but seemed really high I mean I might pay you 7 for one stalk but not a 6 inch cutting. Looks like that might be where I have to get it though. So I thought I might just ask if anyone knew where I could get some stalks.

Holler at the folks at your local farmer's coop, they very well may have some information for you.  Farmer's markets, too.

There's got to be someone around you somewhere that grows it...ask for a chunk. I've grown it off and on for a long time and have never had a problem finding it.
