I have fresh dug rhisomes from Xanthosoma jeoquinii "Crested Elephant Ear" and Colocasia "Ruffles" that I would like to trade for Colocasia "Violet Stem" or "Red Stem."
The rhisomes are quarter size or larger, semi-dormant and can be stored for winter or planted now. I have 10 of each variety. I will trade one for one.
You have some nice EE's for trade. Really like the one in the picture. But sorry to say I don't have what you are looking for. But I know you will find what you want.
I would love to trade with you but do not have what you're looking for.
I think I can trade w/ you.
Which Violet?
Ric
Henry, just the plain Colocasia "Violet Stem," gets about 3 ft tall, sends out runners everywhere, easy to grow(except in TX, lol). Do you want Xanthosoma jeoquinii or Ruffles(or both)?
2pugdogs, do you have a little pup from that green leaf elephant ear you posted here http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=1851010
Calalily you have d-mail
Cala, I think I have red stem (plain old red stem) and possibly violet stem...(plain old violet stem). Which one are you showing in the pic?
Brenda
You have mail
I've this one.

and a nifty Cranberry red stem.
Ruffles I need.
Ric
OMG!!!!!!! i want one of the crested EE i have a black runner EE i dont know if that is what youre looking for but plmk if it is
Brenda, the one in the picture is Xanthosoma jeoquinii, the crested ear. I would love red or violet stem.
Ric, I have plenty of Ruffles, I can dig more. They don't make runners, but they make lots of pups! The violet stem like your picture is what I'm looking for(the cranberry is nice too)
Moretz, if you tell me how to keep the black runner alive, I'd love to trade!
I think I've answered everybody, lol. I got the D-mails too!

you treat it like u do the other EE, and it should be hardy where u r because ut comes back for me here, i have babies of this everywhere it shoots(runs)out a new babay it roots down, what are u doing with it, i mean r u treating it like the other EE plmk and thxs
Sent a dmail. :)
Moretz, I think I had it in too much shade. I moved it to a sunny corner, but I think it was too dry(or Bleu stepped on it). I would love to try another.
ok sending it to you thxs so much
Do you have any of the Xanthosoma jeoquinii left? Ive got the red stem and black runner and a couple that Im not sure of the name. I can send out on Monday. LMK.
Janet
Dravencat, I can dig some more for you and I think that will be all.
All that want to trade, let me know how many y'all want of each so I can divide them up.
Ill d-mail you
calalily
sent yours out yesterday
thxs
I am printing out the address list with what you guys want and will try to get everything packed tonight. If I don't get them all in the mail tomorrow, I'll mail them Monday morning on the way to work.
I'm so excited! I've got the pots all fixed to put the new ears in.
Susie, yell if you still need the violet stem after you get all your trades done. I still have the plant you gave me a few years back!
Mel, I'm glad I shared stuff with you, lol. How many times have I come begging since I've moved?
I mailed these today:

When they arrive, you can either store them above freezing in dry peatmoss till spring, or plant them now. If you plant them now, you will need to keep them warm. They should grow a new leaf in 2-4 weeks. Remember, they're dormant, they take time to wake up.
PS, if you can't tell which end is up, just lay them on their side.
Thanks Cala, Ill have yours out on Monday.
i already sent yours did you get it yet? plmk
moretz
Yes, it came today and it is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much!

I hate it when my maillady is slow, LOL.
The mail is as hard to figure out as the weather, lol.
I'm watching my mail, thank you Susie.
Susie I got mine today and they look great, Thank you so much!
Hey Susie,
Mine came today. Mailed yours yesterday. I look forward to growing them.
Brenda
Mine arrived today, thanks so much. Do you have a PayPal account?
Susie,
Thanks SO much!
They will be planted this weekend.
Ric
Linda, I do, but that's not enough to worry about, lol. Just wait till spring, I'm sure we'll be trading again!
Calalily...I have some X. robustum I would happily trade if you have any of that love X to share still.....? In fact...I have lots!!!
Carol
Carol, is X robustum a really huge ear??? I don't think I have it.
Which ears were you interested in? I still have a few of both Ruffles and Crested.
Hey Carol, just a thought but could you add that EE to the PF? I have one I got from another DGer but I would think you have more info on it than I could ever give.
Carol and Susie, I could use your suggestions.......I just put in a pool and I had lots of different palms planted and now I want to start adding. What type of EEs would do best in a good bit of sun here in Zone 8b? Also, are there any EEs that don't die back in winter? Which ones last longest and get tall? Thanks for your help.
Barbara
