Description: 5 bulbils in each 'seed' packTsukuneImo is a special variety of Dioscorea polystachya with rounded 'dumpling' shaped tubers. Dioscorea polystachya tubers typically grow straight and deep into the soil, along with their brittle roots it can be a lot of work to harvest the tubers, requiring the excavation of a large hole. TsukuneImo varieties make harvest easier. Often these alternative tuber forms of Dioscorea polystachya do not produce many bulbils. This is a cultivar grown specifically for the edible tuber. Bulbils are clones, making them a great way to propagate these plants. Plant bulbils in deep loose soil for the best chance of the improved Tsukune-Imo shape developing.LATIN: Dioscorea polystachya var. tsukuneimo, cv. 'nara' aka Dioscorea opposita aka Dioscorea batatasZONE HARDINESS: 4-11PLANTING: Store bulbils at room temperature until ready for planting. Plant in spring as you would a seed, in pots or directly into the ground. Unlike a seed, they are clones, producing genetically identical plants.
