Cane in Virginia?

(1/1)

stringstretcher:
Does anyone know, or willing to share a spot that I can go collect some river cane or switch cane in Virginia?  I sure would love to go and harverst it myself, just to say I did.

welch2:
Where in Virginia?  It's a big state. I know a few places on the coast. But in general look alongside creeks and rivers, even lakes.

Hillbilly:
Here is the USDA distribution map for native switch and river canes (Arundinaria) in Virginia.

Canerod:
About 3 miles west of Charlottesville, on I-64, there's a big stand of cane between the East and West bound lanes. I always wondered if it was any good for rods, i.e. thick enough powerfibers.
