Listen to Steve My neighbor a few doors down planted this one next to his shed. Years later he actually had to remove the ginger and part of his shed.. The rhizome was unbelievable large.. I got a chunk he tossed in the trash the size of a gallon jug of milk . I planted it and one year later I removed the same rhizome it had more than doubled in size and lots of little smaller ones were in the soil .. I removed them all... No one could even have explained this to me ! Seeing it grow so large is scary
