Smile Re: anyone growing amorphophallus?

Update on an A.konjac in the woods.
Plant shown is four feet across and four feet in height.
These are hardy in my zone..
Bulb is grapefruit size and planted 6 inches below the surface.
Plant is irrigated and fed 16-16-16- granular 2x per year.
Plant is in full shade; however the plants in mostly sun show better growth and look a little bit more "aged" at this time of the year.

These plants did not emerge until early July; however the bulbs which i overwintered inside @ 30-50 Degrees emerged early May.... so dormant temperature does make a difference.
