Yacon tubers.

[Rtreid]

I harvested my yacon today, and I have an excess of planting tubers.  It is the purple skinned type and is very tasty.

PM me if you are interested.


Cheers,

I have grown Yacon in Florida before and it grows well however I had mine planted in a low area that when it rains too much and saturated the ground it killed the plants...

I haven't got my hands on any yet, or I'd see, but I have heard otherwise!

mine were growing OK
not exactly taking off though, then the freeze hit.

does anyone know if the tubers will sprout in spring ?
It was a light freeze for 1 night.
i kinda doubt the soil actually froze
but then again, we had a lot of rain to go along with it.

if i have to plant them again, i would put them in loose soil
and raised well above grade.

Yes best time to sprout them is in spring. They like growing through summer and plants die out when it start getting cool in fall. Tubers probably ok, unless you get hard ground freeze.

I hope they do real good in spring. I'm sure there will be many surprises in your yard. Where is that planted? I don't remember if I saw it growing. How are your little persimmon trees?
