About Sugarcane
Sugarcane is a long-duration, giant grass. For a terrace, it is an purely ornamental/educational project; it requires an incredibly large, tall drum and 10-12 months of sunlight and water to produce a harvestable stalk. Dwarf/early-maturing varieties are mandatory to keep it under 7 feet.
