Fascinating. I was aware of some plantings in Japan, but not Korea. That hoop system looks like a neat way of managing vine growth.

Do you mean North or South? Apios is growing any place in Korea. The photo came from South West region.  |

It is so cool to get input from so many parts of the world! I'm really pleased to be hearing about Korea and I hope we can get more inputs from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, to augment our valuable contacts in Europe and Australia. What a fantastic community this is growing to be!

OK, so not far from Busan. Seeing as apios grows in the UK, I'm not surprised is does well throughout Korea  I wonder whether the plants are diploid - derived from seeds or plants from Japan? Seem to rmember reading about some research which had been done there on it. |

Using Google Translate you can get a good enough translation so that you can understand some of the text. I searched for Apios on Korean language sites and just looked at one page quickly: jdm0777.com/a-yakchotxt/apios.htmIt seems that the market is being driven by/ being sold as a health food. I only had a quick look, but it also seems to be saying the Indians got their strength when fighting the US cavalry from this plant |
