I think it grows from extreme southern Indiana and down. I got my first batch from Raptor Archery several years ago. I don't know if he still sells it.

I'll be collecting river cane(actually hill cane) soon but unfortunately I have most of it promised. If I have any left over I'd be happy to send you some.     Pat

Have you tried tonkin cane from the garden store,they use it for garden stakes,have to sort out through a lot but the effort is well worth the arrows.I have made some really tough arrows out of the stuff.
