Sugar cane is a sub-tropical and tropical crop that prefers lots of sun and lots of water - provided that its roots are not waterlogged.
It typically takes about 12 months to reach maturity although the time varies widely around the world from as short as six months in Louisiana to 24 months in some places.
Sugar cane is harvested by chopping down the stems but leaving the roots so that it re-grows in time for the next crop. Harvest times tend to be during the dry season and the length of the harvest ranges from as little as 2 ½ months up to 11 months
hope that helps

Sugar "cranes" are a kind of bird that lives in the tropics. They are left on the vines until their little wings start to flap. Then the farmer, (he's known as the "Cranemaker"),snips them off the vine just at the bottom of their little feet and sets them free. They usually are hunted and eaten by the natives. They say that they taste like Chicken--only alot sweeter. Don't put sugar on them before you taste them because most people think they are already sweet enough, naturally. If you get the chance to be in the tropics be sure to try "Sugar Cranes" for dinner some night. You'll be glad you did.

'Crane' wading birbs with long legs, or machine for
moving heavy weights. I do not know how they can
be grown ?
If you mean 'sugar cane' then it takes 9 to 11 months
depending on the weatheric condition before it can
be harvested.

3 to 4 months depend on how you nurture it
