I couldn't imagine how they'd become "invasive". As much as
large tubers cost, I'd say, "bring 'em on!". Little ones
eventually become big'uns. I think a large colony of these
would be fantastic looking, like a miniature forest from Mars!
I just wish they were hardier here. They will winter over fine
if planted deep enough, but the wet winters make them rot unless
they're planted under the overhang of the house where they can be
kept dry.
