Sugar Cane

We are doing some trials with sugar cane. As I read that it grows well close to water. Have a friend growing this sugar cane on top of the hill in Palm oil plantation, for own consumption. It is growing well and lots of mature cane dying off as he can't consume that much. Took some back. Am testing these close to our pool as we do have quite a long stretch of sandy / rocky area at parcel 6, 3 and 2.

Was suppose to plant these cutting horizontally. The 1st batch did not grow. Second batch we tried planting it vertical and slanting. These grew. The slanting ones have more shoots.

Spoke with a couple of my contacts and the only market that I found till now is to the Sugar Cane juice sellers. Shall try to find more market in the mean time.
