Jantina says... Hi Anonymous, I understand that there is a tropical taro and a more temperate one, is that right? If so which one have you tried to grow? In Okayama Japan they grow a lot of taro and it gets very cold here in the winter, sometimes even snows. Did you give your taro lots of water? I notice they grow them here where its mostly very damp sometimes even in standing water with the rice.Jantina | About the Author 11th October 2008 11:29am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... Hello MH,the lady who grew them has moved away now but my memory is that she simply put sprouted tubers in the soil in spring and off they went. I do not know whether she got a big harvest or not.I do know she had horses and used to put lots of manure on her pumpkins but would think that on sweet potatoes that would result in lots of top growth instead of tubers because of the nitrogen. When we get back to Australia in a week or so I will chase it up and post the info.I have been meaning to have a go myself.
