MASSIVE HARVEST - How to Grow a HEAP of Arrowroot! Canna Edulis

In this video I will be harvesting QLD Arrowroot (Canna Edulis), and showing you how we utilize this plant in our Food Forest system. We mainly use it as a for chop and drop feeding, as a biomass accumulator. However, the rhizomes / tubers are also edible on these.
If you are looking to sources some Rhizomes of these 2 varieties you can find them on our eBay store:

How can you tell if you have an edible variety I have lots of different Canna lilies, but I also know that I have a Queensland arrowroot somewhere amongst them

[@Edible_Jungle_Nursery]

Hi mate, I don't grow the standard Canna lily types but I assume if you dug them up they would probably hava a different rhyzome. Might be worth starting with fresh material if you are wanting to eat them however to avoid ID mistakes.

Do you ship to Europe?

That is not Arrowroot, that Is Achira.

[@Edible_Jungle_Nursery]

Hi mate, Achira and QLD Arrowroot are both common names for Canna edulis.

[@Oysters176]

@@Edible_Jungle_Nursery It is just confusing. Most of the pictures I see on 'arrowroot' is actually Kudzu.

[@Edible_Jungle_Nursery]

@@Oysters176 Yes it can be annoying when multiple species have the same or similar common names. That is why I try to use the species name in the title or descriptions where possible.
