In Part III (38 mins., beginning the second videotape), he discusses corm-producing aroid species such as tanias, taros, eddoes and dasheens.

Chapter 24 1996

In general the eddoes are hardier than the dasheens and can be grown in drier conditions on poorer soils.

Chapter 32 1987

In the eddoes the central corm is smaller and bears many small side cormels, which are normally eaten.

Chapter 32 1987

Dasheen corms grown under erratic moisture conditions show peculiar dumbell-like shapes, reflecting constrictions in growth during dry periods, and under water stress eddoes produce few cormels.

Chapter 32 1987

Both dasheen and eddoe type corms can be kept in good condition for upwards of 4 weeks in the tropics: thus dasheens with tops attached and minimal wounding, and good quality eddoes, can be stored in pits dug in well-drained soil and lined with leaves, and well-shaded, on trays or in small heaps under houses, or in cellars or barns.

Chapter 32 1987

There is also a small import trade in dasheens and eddoes by the UK.
