Rivercane in northeast?
Staver:
Does anyone know if rivercane grows in the northeast... say around Connecticut? I found something that looks like it, but it seems a little thin walled... maybe a reed. ???

Hi Staver. I looked on the usda website and it didn't show Connecticut as having river cane. Here's the website http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?navtype=SU&navid=AGRICULTURE that will take you to the plant search part. You can also look for plants by state if you would be interested in checking out what all you may have around you that you can use. Also keep in mind that someone could have brought in something and planted it that wouldn't normally be there. The cane scientific name is arundinaria and that will show you pretty much the entire north american cane family. Hope this helps. Mike
Hillbilly:
Could be Phragmites reed.
