Re: Australian cane

Bob: I agree that there's no point in cane lasting forever if it's no good to begin with! Also, with the imortance of wind. The wind,which is called the Mistral, blows all year long in the Var and that's what makes the cane fibrous and sinewy. Exactly the same soil, sun exposure and water without the wind wouldn't give the same results. The cane is doing on the plant what it will do in your mouth: it's vibrating! Years ago, Russel Procope of the Duke Ellington band told me that the best cane he ever tried was Cuban. On this board somebody said that if the conditions are good for growing tobacco, they're good for growing cane. Maybe, if such is the case, they should try growing cane in North Carolina. It would also cause less lung cancer! Space in the Var is running out, as it is more lucrative to build condominiums for retirees there than to grow cane. So other solutions have to be found. Cuba? the Dominican Repulic? The Argentinian cane from Mendoza, I find spongy. Maybe I should try it again.
