Greetings,
has anyone in the Bay Area grown D. elephantipes successfully? Or, is the weather here way too cold for that species?

Re: Growing Dioscorea elephantipes
Mon, July 7, 2008 - 7:22 PMI haven't tried one myself, but I don't think it would be a problem. Are you planning on growing it outdoors or in? Just be advised that they are summer dormant, so don't be surprised if it defoliates both in summer and winter! -
