"I am in Florida, I have 3 different varieties of cassava."

What are the varieties that you grow?  Also, do you cut the stalks down now, and save them to replant next spring?

Also--- cassava should never ever be washed from coming out of the soil-- it has microbial activity on the outside of the root; keep this intact and place in a dark well vented area and it will keep for weeks on end... No washing or waxing needed... I learned this from The Reid Nursery in Deland, Florida...
