Dioscorea opposita roots usually grow straight and deep into the soil, coupled with their brittle roots it can be a lot of work to harvest the tubers. Ichoimo varieties makes harvest much easier. Often these alternative tuber forms of diocorea opposita do not produce many bulbils. This is a selection grown specificly for the edible tuber. Bulbils are clones, making them a great way to propagate these plants.
