Malanga root/tuber plant???Eduardo

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2002.08.16 at 19:41:39(9183) Hi Marc, Well, if you have a picture of the leaves, it would help. I have to confess that most (edible) Xanthosoma tubers look more or less the same for me. Plant a tuber, let it produce a few (3) leaves and send me a picture. all the best, Eduardo. +More Reply-To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu Subject: Re: [aroid-l] Malanga root/tuber plant???Eduardo Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 11:08:03 -0400 Send a picture of what?

(although I do already grow a whole bunch of Xanthosomas)... do you have any idea how long it takes for a "grocery store" tuber to 'come to life'?
