Anybody ever grow this or know anything about it?Any info would be appreciated.

Anything that I' ve read about it sounds great, but I haven' t found it north of the border.

From everything I have heard, it is the closest thing there is to a turkey magnet. Also enjoyed by deer and other critters. In our northern climes, it is planted as an annual crop making it a bit pricey with the cost of tubers to plant. If its planted in ground that gets hard, it is helpful to loosen up the soil a bit around a few of the plants and expose the tubers when they are ready at end of growing season so they can find them, they will dig up the rest themselves. One other thing I have heard is that raccoons can be a problem when you plant tubers in spring, digging them up before they grow. How this help

We planted them this spring in NW Arkansas. We planted 50 lbs in two different food plots that we have had other crops in. Not one chuffa came up. From what I have experienced and been told they are hard to grow but well worth the effort.

Oh well, better luck next year.

Try www.chufa.com A friend of mine here in northwest Florida has the site and grows and sells chufas for turkey plots. Great guy that will answer all your questions about chufas. Get the dirt off of them and they are tasty as a snack.
