I am from n.c. ,we have plenty of arrow reed,(Switch Cane) . You are to far north as you mentioned to have good size canes. Even I have only certain spots that grow good cane and the plant is evey where, go figure?

Rk, Do a search for Arundinaria gigantea on USDA website. You'll find that it is native to southern Indiana but I haven't found it yet.
