Above looking down on the plant from above, the corms forming at the base of an Araimo plant. These corms can be used like a boiled potato for stews or a side dish.
I also have.......
...An unknown "white" variety that prefers semi shade and is a robust grower.
...A yellow cormed variety that is most likely a Polynesian type.
...An aggressive purple stemmed one that may be a Filipino type.
...Another purple stemmed that is a Caribbean type.
I'm gradually phasing out my unknown varieties as I acquire known Hawaiian types. No particular reason for this other than I like the idea of growing Hawaiian varieties. But I do plan to keep the Caribbean variety because it's rather ornamental.
Thinking of ornamental, I forgot to list Mojito, my black & green variegated taro.
Do u have pics of Mana Ulu Kalo u can show.
