Wendi, I forwarded this video to my sister because we ordered some gorgeous purple Ube pancakes a few weeks ago at a restaurant and were so intrigued, and since she loves to grow things, I wanted to share your video with her. Thank you so much! I appreciate your joy and enthusiasm!

We harvested ours for the first time in 8 years and the vines grew over 30 feet high (grew on one of our oak trees). It’s planted in the ground behind a shed and gets little to no sun. It’s very bountiful every time we harvest. Thanks for explaining that you can plant the ones that grow on the vine (out of the ground). I was trying to find this out so I could pant some at my house.

In Philippines they called "ube". Actually they have two colors of ube tuber the purple or violet and the other one is white. This ube tuber is also a vegetable in Philippines. Only the filipino living in the mountain knows the true ube tuber.

Hello ms Wendi. You are a lovely and articulate gardener. A suggestion for the plant growing in full sun, try to increase the humidity by spraying it several times per day as time permits. Perhaps then it will develop the seed potato nodules. Best wishes young lady.

How do you overwinter it? I just uprooted mine because the leaves have died and I was afraid the roots will rot.

I returned the roots and the tuber where the growth was and covered it with bark hoping it will return in spring.
