Great deal! I was gonna say I'd send you some, but I don't think you need them now. The oriental taro has different leaves, but it's very pretty. I have both kinds. If you look up malanga on Google, you'll see how it looks. They are both edible.

Is there an outlet there that ships taro bulbs. They are not available in Central Illinois. Thanks.

The place where I bought them was like a large grocery store. So, I don't think they would ship them out. Kaysbelle, I think I saw a web sight that does ship out asian and latin foods. Do a search and see what comes up. From my understanding most ethnic markets have taro. If you live in or near a large town you should be able to find some.

You can also find taro or its first cousin in many markets serving a Hispanic population. Once you have seen them, just go on visuals, not the names.

Kaye620, I'd say that was a good deal!

I was at the local Fred Meyer this afternoon, and I cleaned up their clearance plants! I got a lot of amazing clearance deals, but among the clearance deals I did NOT buy were the "elephant ear" plants for $1 each.

Think we can put the tarro roots in the ground now?

Kaysbelle,

You mean taro isn't available in Central Illinois? I got mine at Meijers last year.
