Purple Yam Ube/Ubi Vines Flowering in California Harvesting Dioscorea Alata Soon 

We congratulate you, you are introducing us to the village and country life in a pure and clear way, with a nice level of sincerity.thank you

I’ve been enjoying ur videos and learning about your composting method. I️ was born in the Philippines and is currently living in Northern California. Ur ube, papaya and banana vids caught my attention. These all grow well in tropical places but because of ur composting method and wood chips helped them grow well in cold places. I️ will try ur method as well. I️ am new in gardening and wonder if you are selling seedlings and cuttings of the mentioned vegetables. Oh by the way you can also cook green papaya fruit with other vegetables like with moringa or pepper leaves. Sauté with ginger and onion with chicken meat and use green papaya fruit and morninga leaves and or pepper leaves as ur vegetables. Add these vegetables when chicken meat is almost cooked, add the leaves last just before serving. You will have the best meal ever!!! The ube is sooo good boil and mashed it then add coconut milk and sweetener like condensed milk or sugar and cook it slow until it gets thick. Its sooo yummy. Hope I️ get response from u guys regarding the seeds, tubers and or banana stalks for sale? Thanks and Yahua bless you both.

hi i am joanne balog dayahon i am a filipina means filipino philippines nationality i grow up growing yams,with my father when the ubi their vines and leaf become dry thats means you have to harvest them other wise they will become dry and the ubi flowers comes out after few months they will become a small small ubi and you cant eat them but you can plant them then they will grow just like a normal ubi okay.

How exciting for you! Maybe we'll get lucky and get a glimpse of them in full bloom. ;) Thank you both for sharing, Peace to you both!!

Now I need to go out and take a close look at mine. Thanks for the information. Best wishes Bob.

Exciting!!!🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️

Wow! I hope i could Plant my own Ube one day too. Thumbs Up! Sir Gary & Maam Robbie.

Ube palnt will produce fruit similar to ang ube tuber...they don't produce seed..but a ube fruit ..it is also a good if you eat it..

the flower will produce seeds and you can plant it . make it grow . i did planted the tiny seed almost a most a year since it start , i planted it in the pot, now it is still growing , that seed I planted , now started having a bulbil on the stem . I thought before the seed would not grow but it grew. you can keep the seed and grow it in nursery on small pot by misting water every day until the seed sprouted. it will work to grow the small seed from purple yum

❤️❤️❤️

The Flowers smell amazing! The Bees love them. Did you get any winged seeds from then? If you drop them they spin round, They will flower every year when they are mature. It can take a few years to get your first flowers. But once they start they never seem to stop until the seeds start to form.

yes they flower and turn to seed , like little ube hanging in the vine

Wow... I've never seen flowers of the true yam, Discorea alata, until now. Where are you guys located at? I have been living here in Southern California for 30 years and if you're just across the pond I would like to pay a visit, pending your invitation. I've been for 9 years, from1976-1985, a researcher on root crops breeding (sweet potato, cassava and true yams) at a state university back home and not seen flowering true yam varieties. That's why our breeding method for the true yam is just evaluation and selection of high yielding varieties with good quality and others from collections within the country and foreign introductions. There's no hybridization or inter-varietal crossing due to no observed flowering. If those flowers were to produce seeds, you can generate individual plants that are different in many respects from one another. But in order to have that, try to pollinate the female flowers in the morning in order to produce seeds, more than the natural crossing. I just checked in the published literatures that male and female are not borne in the same flowers in the same plant just like squash, just to mention one.

I just got three pounds of ube from amazon we will be planting them along a fencd line in a few days. We are in south Ms.

I came to search for this on your channel. Wonderful The ube is so prolific. I wonder if I can get it to buy in a London market. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank u love ur videos

Very nice

I planted ube in July and it grew really well but it has not grown tubers big enough to be harvested. Because of the cold weather, the leaves have now died. What do I do to overwinter? I planted it in grow bag. Should I just leave it in the grow bag or should I uproot it? Will appreciate an answer. Thanks.

the second name of the ubi flower then they become small small ubi calls is air potato.

Are you familiar with growing garlic. Would love to have some information on this topic. I already made some gluten free bread. Is very good but hard to find gluten free flour. Not much variety in P.R. Love all your videos. Thank you and keep on going.

I'll plant some in central Florida this summer and let you know if they flower .

These potatoes grow in wild, montagnard indigenous we dig in forest and we planted in our field too.

Purple yam definitely develops seeds and the yams will grow from the seeds. Works better if you baby the seeds in pots.

Thank you for all your hard work. Where is your Garden located and what is your planting zone? It would help to have a reference.

Where is this in California? I bought ube bulbis and i will try to plant this in central California.. thanks

Are the leaves edible?

Do you have the significant pollinator

we cook them for a dish or for a dessert...check the site of Filipinos cooking them for dessert it is so good.

I think the flowers become lil taters and can be planted.

Check out Dioscorea villosa or wild yam.

Here in the philippines we call the purple yam as "ube"...

I would like to get started but don't know where to get the plant? Help

I heard the japanese dioscorea alata smell like cinnamon. Do yours?

I have the purble ube. I'm unable to find info on the leaves. Do you know if the leaves are edible?

Ubi produce small Tubers Along stems in the Leaf Axils if allowed to Mature ( 3rd Year ) about the size of quarter to 50¢ piece!!!

Where are the holes in the dishwasher?

Can i buy? I want to plant some. Thank you. Adonis

amazing work, how much to send me some over to London?

Can you sell me the deep purple tuber?. I am dying to plant 2 or 3 plants.

Hey there do you sell some seed for the purple yam?

Will ube grow in MN USA?
