5$ per piece nice size, whatever will fit in the box.  I can use the long skinny medium flat rate boxes or whatever you want.

Minimum 20$ order plus postage please.

All you need to do is lay this flat and burry an inch in ground and keep wet and these will grow nicely in the heat.

Brad,
Other than appearance... what is the difference between the 2?

Thanks.

The San Diego Yellow grows larger and more vigorous. Both varieties are very sweet with Brix over 20% if cared for correctly, I have their Brix numbers somewhere.

The Asian Black is a much softer cane that is easier to peel and is recommended for eating out of hand/chewing due to its soft nature and excellent taste.

The San Diego Yellow also has excellent flavor but the fibers hold together better making them more difficult to chew but significantly enhances the ability to run the Sugarcane through a Sugarcane machine. I have grown about 8 or so different varieties of Sugarcane and only kept these two varieties as the best in each category of chewing/juicing canes.

The Asian Black Sugarcane is also highly decorative and can be compared to certain varieties of ornamental bamboo.

I highly recommend the Asian black, the only sugarcane I grow in my yard.  Like Simon said, soft, sweet and easy to chew.

I had a few orders and froze about 30lbs of it and juiced 3 gallons.  So sale is over for now.

Thanks!
