[Syrupmakers] early maturing sugar cane (for north of the sugar cane syrup belt?)

[Bill Outlaw]

Hi,

Richard Harrison gave Charles Deese and me one stalk each of TCP 
87-3388.  It matures in mid-Sept in Texas.  Richard might be able to 
add more, but all I can say is that it is hard, straight, and erect.

I grew another early maturing variety this year and shared starts 
with Richard and Charles Deese.   This one is also high brix (in 
south Florida).

Maybe we can say something worthwhile in a couple of 
years.  Possibly, the northern growers might want to try a stalk or 
so?  (Richard, can you give them the skinny?)
