Sugar cane
As a kid we could get ribbon cane syrup from a man in a neighboring town. Is ribbon cane made from sugar cane or some other cane?

Saw Danny talking about the sugar cane today, hopefully I catch it this year when they put it for sale!!! I would love to get some of the purple he has.

We will have a little for sale. He will start putting some up on Etsy in the future.

Maybe Freesteading will get an advance notice of when it is going on sale, 😁 or if you have advance orders, am ready to order when you have it available, I do understand you still have to harvest it and everything takes time, I do appreciate you putting some up for sale.

Danny. I know you said I could not grow sugar cane in Texas outside in 6b. But what about in a heated big greenhouse
-
Yes you could probably do that.

Big smile on my face today, email is sent!!! 😁 Love when am able to order something before it sales out!!! Especially when it comes to plants, I know if I don’t get it when am lucky enough to find the plant I want, I may never get another chance to get that plant.

Hi Wanda and Danny,
Could your sugar cane be grown in a 15-gallon tub (or multiple tubs) in zone 9b? If so, how many pieces per tub? Once it’s grown, how would a person without a press harvest and prepare it to use as a sweetener (assuming there would never be enough to actually make syrup)? Or would it even be possible/worth trying for such a small harvest?
Thanks,
Kim

Yes it can it would need support. You can cut it into small pieces and boil the syrup out of it. There are videos on YouTube showing the process.
