Default Re: Grocery store taro

I bought some at a local Chinese Market and then noticed they were available from the normal Supermarket , Giant, Safeway. In Europe you can also find Xanthasoma as tubers in the Asian Markets as I'm sure we can here in the US but I have not found any yet.
I have few in pots at the moment and also I grew market tubers every year in France.

Mark the UK zone 7 is so very different from a US zone 7 as you know. I'm not sure Colocasia Esculenta (Taro) would survive without a very heavy mulch , but I'll have a go :-)
