How long should river cane dry before working into arrows? And what is the best time of year to cut it?

Thanks,

December through Late February to harvest. Tie in a bundle around a stout straight stick and put up in a dry place.

I usually bundle hill cane and stand it in the utility room for about 2 months. You will drive the remaining moisture out as you straighten and temper it.
