does any one out there in webland know of someone who can post a few cuttings of Manihot esculenta to the UK, legally and without costing a small fortune? As I have tried growing them from seeds with out success. They grow to about 3" tall and then die. It seems that most who try over here in the UK have the same fate. I think it is such a pity as it is such a gorgeous looking plant. And considering it grows almost everywhere in the states and in many parts of the earth just like a weed. I saw a picture of a verigated manihot on the web and I couldn't take my eyes of it for ages. I hope I'm not breaking any laws by writing this thread. But I though I would at least give it a try.
