| Depending on where this was taken, they have some elephant ears like Thai Giant which can grow over 10 feet tall. I was drooling over them at Plant Delights Nursery website. They have frequent rains, and that's what it takes, plus very rich jungle type soil to support that growth. Mine are not that big, but one kind is about 8 or 9 feet tall now. Lets see if I can find a picture of it, to insert here. Some of them or most of them, are edible. Taro root, I think. |
