Thank you. Yeah it seemed odd to recommend Taro growing with Bananas. I think it would for sure affect bunch size. In any case, I will grow then separately.

Years ago forum member HMelendez said a Malanga vanilla shake was delicious and he had them quite frequently as a youngster.

So got some of mine and made one of the most delicious smoothies ever.
I tried taro also and it was awesome as well.

They make great accent pond plants for the landscape too.

Do you have to cook or boil the malanga or taro first for the milkshake?

Yes, just as you would potatoes.

I utilize the banana canopy to grow herbs and lettuce when it's too hot for full sun. Cilantro is my favorite herb fresh from the garden!
