Taccas will set seed , but you must let it ripen fully.
We get seed on the black all the time .
The white one can be a bit difficult as the seedlings seem to be very
delicate and 10% survival is considered lucky .
The small Tacca palmata forms a tuber and can be sent bare root when
dormant, but the others resent bare rooting , though may survive if kept
well wrapped in Sphagnum .
