When to plant taro in Tully
- Plant seedlings: late Jul to mid MarTully area, tropical savanna
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Tully. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A tropical root crop with huge heart-shaped leaves, grown for its starchy corms. It needs a long, warm, frost-free season and lots of water, so it suits the tropics and subtropics best. Plant in spring in cooler areas. Every part is toxic raw: always cook corms and leaves well.
