It could be a flavor that is hiding in its genes and could be weeded out amongst a larger batch of seedlings which might yield an occasional plant with more desirable taste. I suspect that even pure yacon grown from seed would yield a number of piney tasting offspring.Johann's Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999476435065811505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352076248333591052.post-70700740980542009822013-09-21T13:35:32.307+01:002013-09-21T13:35:32.307+01:00Next summer (the summer that is not yet) is always...Next summer (the summer that is not yet) is always better than this summer.

Interesting.<br /><br />Still can't find any info whatsoever on my native wildflower... which has similar tubers, and is almost too successful in the shade garden.... If I could eat it, it would go a long way toward raising it in my estimation.Gardens-In-The-Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373144762759568415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352076248333591052.post-10315376637866914192013-04-06T19:08:51.303+01:002013-04-06T19:08:51.303+01:00Hi David
