Varieties of Cane We Grow

These are some of the varieties of cane we grow. On the top left hand side is a type of sugar cane that my uncle bought several years ago from an experimental station in in Poplaville, Mississippi. It is referred to as 4852 hybrid cane. This cane is somewhat drought resistant and tends to grow better than other cane varieties in drought conditions. Also, this type of cane tends to make good syrup. The picture on the top right is the cane that my great grandpa used to grow that I talked about in a recent post. This cane tends to grow average during droughts and makes a prettier syrup than the 4852 cane. The other cane on the lower left is a type of chewing cane that is soft and easy to chew. This cane will not make syrup.

  1. Sugar industry, incredibly, insists that once you look at the research, no expert says that sugar leads to any disease, even obesity.
