Not sure John, I got mine from Bunnies! What i do know from experience is that it can act as a water repellent so leave a few holes filled with wetting agent next to your fruit trees!

Do you mean that sugarcane mulch acts as a water repellant snottie?

Apparently it's grown for the edible inflorensences, Phil. There's very little to no sugar content in the cane, I tried it and it just tastes awful. I don't think it will flower here, but I can always live in hope. It makes a nice ornamental just the same.

Here's a good thread on it.
