I planted some Cana tubers in the spring of 2004. Originally, I planted
them around 8 or 10 inches
deep. Today I went out to trim them down for the winter, and found that
in several of them, there
were large branched tubers with growth points on the surface or breaking
through to the surface.
Is it normal for Cana tubers to migrate upwards like that? Would the
original tubers still be "down
there" below the surface ones? I'm concerned about them freezing out
now.
I just dug up 32 Cana plants two days ago in GBay, WI.
The two biggest plants had 10 & 11 new shoots on a flat surface with
the
original main 'tuber'..... All was very visible after I spray
cleaned the
soil off the tubers.. Dried, Full plants are now in the basement
root cellar
Why did you put the entire plant in the basement?
