I’m surprised too. I didn’t think they were that hardy. I have one in the middle of the yard in the ground. It is about 4 feet tall.

I have a nice tall plant growing in a container. I just measured it this morning and it was 7 feet tall.

This is my first year growing Yacon. I used a hinged growing container so that I can harvest the tubers easily.


They have been growing since mid March.

I had 2 other plants in the front of my house but the chipmunks ate the tubers about a month ago

Who else here grows Yacon?

Zz plant

Zamioculcas zamifolia

Put it in the darkest corner and water it every 3-4 months. Put it in bright light and water it once a week maybe. Wherever you put it the leaves stay dark glossy green.
