Little ones eventually become big'uns. I think a large colony of these would be fantastic looking, like a miniature forest from Mars! I just wish they were hardier here. They will winter over fine if planted deep enough, but the wet winters make them rot unless they're planted under the overhang of the house where they can be kept dry. +More David Sizemore Kingsport, TN (Zone 6a) plantsman@prodigy.net ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list AROID-L" Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 11:38 AM Subject: Amorphophallus konjac : A couple of people here in central NC (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, zone : 7) tell me they've planted this out and are now fearful that it will : become invasive because it produces so many offspring.
