I grew them once when I lived in SoCal... can't remember where I got the stock. The gophers really loved them, only a few plants survived. The yield from those plants was not impressive, and the tubers were small & very difficult to clean. I gave away what little I had, and never grew them again. Wish I could be more encouraging... it is an interesting plant, but there are other, more productive root crops that are a better use of space.

Does anyone know of a source for this on Oahu? I know I can buy it on-line but would like to see if it is already in the islands. Thanks, Mat

I think I saw this tuber at Chinatown before. Perhaps when visiting that place you could buy the tubers and plant it.
