FREE: WOW! 100 Sugarcane Seeds WOW!

The listing, WOW! 100 Sugarcane Seeds WOW! has ended.

Sugarcane has lots of positives:

1) Very easy to grow and propagate . . . great for brown thumbs
2) It looks cool, kinda like bamboo with longer leaves
3) If you grow it outside a tropical zone, your neighbors will refer to you as “eccentric”
4) You can eat it (or make juice from it). Yummy
5) Slicing the stalks into segments lengthwise makes them into great skewers for bbq’ing shrimp. Also yummy
6) Makes a good privacy screen to shield your crazy activities from the neighbors. Not yummy, but useful

It also has a couple negatives:

1) The leaves are sharp. Don’t plant a field of sugarcane and then run through it "nekkid" . . . you’ll be sorry!
2) Occasional dry leaf removal is required (see note above, use gloves and long sleeves)
3) Ants like it too (plant it away from the house)
4) Starting your own residential sugar plantation and becoming a sugar baron may make neighbors jealous.
It grows to a height of 8-10 feet and if planting in the spring will mature at the end of the summer. It can be planted in the spring about the same time as corn, and has similar growth habits, so plant it as you would corn. In the fall time, you gather the stalks of the cane and squeeze the juice and boil it down for the sorghum syrup. It is a great opportunity for you to try something nice, and for those that have children, they will get to see from growing and harvest, and after cooking down the juices, the sweet taste of the syrup.
