Photos of some tubers with shoots. Dug these up in my new garden a
couple of days ago and don't know what they are. Some shoots are a bit
green at the top. The biggest tubers are about an inch wide. Lots of
baby ones too.
I would guess Portland sago.
aka Lords-and-Ladies, Cuckoo-Pint, etc. Berries are poisonous.
It's not that the berries are poisonous, but that all parts of the
plant are severely irritant, and the roots need treatment to turn
them into the arrowroot (or Portland sago) of the kitchen. The
berries are the part that are most attractive to the foolish.
