.. here we just let it clump up
and get mushy and pull the stalks off as it will take up again in
spring where it left off the previous year.

** How cold do your winters get?

They sell dry taro
tubers,

** The black or purple tubers?

so I would assume if you dug it up and washed it, and placed
it in a plastic bag or a container filled with dry peat and place it
in a dark cool spot it will be right for next years go.

** I winter over my Caladium's, a related plant dry in their pots. But the
black taro has a mass of roots the Caladium's don't have. Drying these
roots may kill them - no?
