As big as my arm

Chop off the tapioca from the bottom. It took four months to harvest. If I want to plant ubi kayu again, I just need to cut a part of the stem, I was advised to insert the stems a bit slender to the soil enabling more tubes produced, I was advised not to insert the stems into the soil the other way round (upside down) to get toxic tapioca

Tapioca leaves

Topica plants, I planted four only

Tapioca leaf

Yellow species got white inner skin, white species got pinky inner skin. This skin is poison, must get rid of skin before preparing ubi kayu

How ubi kayu look like after poison skin got rid off.
