The sugar cane palm is a beautiful specimen for smaller gardens and can be used as a smaller dramatic palm in a larger garden design also. It is native to Madagascar. The sugar cane palm is mostly admired for its prominently ringed multiple trunks.  The sugar cane grows best in a sheltered, shaded site, however it will certainly take full sun as well. It will look tatty in a constant medium zoned wind area and is not good for an exposed site.
