Charles cant spell says... My tumeric, struggled through summer, and died off last month, I dug it and moved it to a cold frame but was to late to keep the shoot alive. Given the size tumeric gets to mine was pathetic. I.e. the original tuber did not even multiply/increase. Unless you have it in a very good microclimate and have it gladwrapped I think you have bucklies but I bet that wont stop you trying. I will be having another crack next spring with more love and shelter. My bananas are doing better and the microclimate is coming along well. Cross my fingers, I thinks its mainly a care factor though. | About the Author Charlesstillcantspell1 Perth Innaloo 11th July 2010 1:38am #UserID: 2742 Posts: 411 View All Charlesstillcantspell1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... Go for it guys, I got some tumeric roots from the Adelaide trash and treasure and am going to give it a go. Will start it off in a pot in my unheated greenhouse and plant it out when the weather warms. Even with our very cold spring we got reasonable crops of sweet potato (small but very sweet). Got ginger from the same place and will do the same. Nothing ventured nothing gained.! | About the Author Jantina Mt.

snottiegobble says... I will be trying sweet potatoes for the 1st time this year. A friend in town has no probs with them & is giving me a rooted cutting. its the red skinned one. Everyone needs to get into the habit of using turmeric in place of salt. There is low incidence of cancer in India & its put down to lots of Turmeric in the diet. | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/ Busso smack in the middle 12th July 2010 1:55pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

Charles cant spell says... I just bought a good looking piece at the Asians grocers today, so I might give you that and not disturb mine as its growing well. I doubt it will shoot till it gets warm, unless you have a heat source but you can try. How would you like the root packaged etc, sending anything but seeds is new to me. Kangaroo apples where not in fruit down south so I wont have any till 3-4 months. When I go down again. I'll send you an email with my address. Cheers. | About the Author Charlesstillcantspell1 Perth Innaloo 12th July 2010 9:54pm #UserID: 2742 Posts: 411 View All Charlesstillcantspell1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Charles cant spell says... They also had lots of small tumeric roots there if you wanted some of them to try ? But they didnt look perfect. I think they would grow, I got 3 out of 4 when I tried, they just bearly grew during summer so its up to you. I will wait for you to reply before I send the Gal. | About the Author Charlesstillcantspell1 Perth Innaloo 13th July 2010 10:16am #UserID: 2742 Posts: 411 View All Charlesstillcantspell1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Markmelb says... Do you have an Asian - Vietnamese shopping precincts like we have in Melbourne? Go there and ask shop owners where it is or when its available then plant it in a 500mm black plastic pot - then watch it grow :) PS - my turmeric roots are heaps longer than original piece and leaves are about half meter above pot and leaves die back in winter and has come back up for second and third years | About the Author Markmelb , 12th April 2014 7:01pm #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |

Diane Plant Research says... Hello all We grow both Turmeric and Galangal here in Kununurra. Both require full sun, lots of water and regular food in the growing season.They only grow when temperature is above approx 32 C so growing season down south will be very short unless in a hot house. Turmeric naturally dies down in cool season. | About the Author Diane Plant Research KUNUNURRA 15th February 2017 4:27pm #UserID: 15568 Posts: 1 View All Diane Plant Research's Edible Fruit Trees |
