Hi all,

Because I am moving  house in the next couple of months I have lifted my
four oldest Arisaema consanguineum tubers which have been in the ground
undisturbed for about 7-8 years. The largest of these  was 1.8 metres tal=l
this year.

The largest  tuber weighed 1.22kg and was 15cm accross in the horizontal
plane!

Despite their  size I dont get any offsets. ( Perhaps did get one,  once
years ago when they were pot grown).


Regards,


Rob
