[Syrupmakers] cane virus

[Ken Reit]

Hello,

 I think I noticed an earlier post about sugar cane eyes sprouting above
ground off the stalk and this being a virus. I noticed today that some of my
stalks have eyes sprouting out about midstalk. Is this what was mentioned
and is this not edible cane? What harm does this do if it is a virus? Does
this stalk need to be destroyed or roots and all adjacent stalks too?

 

Thanks for anymore input on this issue.
