Sugarcane @ Tebu!

Sugarcane after 6 months! Still having slender stems. They have grown taller than me now.




Sugarcane does produce seeds! But usual practise is planting from the cane stalk. Do you know that? As for me i never seen the seeds. They mature in 11 - 18months.

Sugarcane are used to make jaggery in India. A kind of unrefined whole cane sugar. It's believed to be healthier choice than sugar!

As for me I'm just waiting for the cane to mature to make "air tebu"! Popular drinks during hot weather!
