Sarah,
Sugarcane won't grow for you there. Sweet sorghum will only grow where there is at least about 80 days of growing season----for the shortest season varieties.
As for sugar maples, a fairly large North Florida wholesale nursery used to sell them here in the 1980's or later. Don't know if amy survived when planted here, but they shipped everywhere. They are out of business now.
I wonder about sweet gum trees? They grow everywhere here. They like wet soils. They resemble silver maple. "Old timers" used to score the tree and get "chewing gum" from the sap. The "original chewing gum". It should be sweet---maybe sweeter than maple, I would think because it congeals on the bark.
Regards,
Richard
