Alan,
This process obviously removes a fresh new leaf. What does this do to the
tuber that you have removed it from? Amorphs only send up one leaf each
season generally don't they? Does that tuber without the leaf then die
because it can't feed for that growing season?
Thought it was worth asking.
Cheers.
