The Colocasia esculenta 'Royal Hawaiian Black Coral', also known as Taro or Elephant Ear, stands as a majestic emblem of tropical beauty. With its deep black-purple leaves that shimmer with a satin-like finish, this plant promises to be a stunning focal point in any garden setting.

How to Grow

The 'Royal Hawaiian Black Coral' thrives in partial to full sunlight. It's suited for USDA zones 8-11 and loves consistently moist, well-draining soil. Plant its bulbs 4 inches deep, allowing ample space between each for its large leaves to spread.

Care Tips

This variety of Elephant Ear demands regular watering to maintain its lush appearance. While it relishes moisture, avoid letting it sit in stagnant water to deter root rot. In hotter climates, a shaded afternoon spot will help prevent leaf scorching.

Uses

The dramatic leaves of the 'Royal Hawaiian Black Coral' are not just ornamental delights but are also popular in several culinary dishes, especially in Asian cuisines. Its aesthetic appeal makes it a prime choice for both container gardening and aquatic landscapes.

Planting Tips

When planting this Taro, ensure the pointed end of the bulb faces upwards. For a bold visual impact, consider planting in clusters. If in containers, choose a sizeable pot to accommodate its growth and ensure proper drainage.

Maintenance

During its growing season, feed it with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. As winter sets in, reduce the frequency of watering. In colder zones, consider bringing containers indoors to shield from frost.

Pests and Diseases

While generally hardy, watch for spider mites and aphids. A gentle spray of insecticidal soap can keep these at bay. Proper soil drainage and avoiding waterlogged conditions are paramount to prevent diseases like fungal and bacterial rots.

A community 3 feet wide and 2650 miles long
Format: Paperback
One of the aspects of long-distance backpacking on our National Scenic Trails that those who haven't done so are generally unaware of is the tight-knit sense of community that binds hikers together, even hikers who've never met. These folks are average people with a vast range of life experiences and circumstances, and not simply a generic array of "professional hikers" involved in some sort of athletic competition. In the "real world," you can know someone for years without *really* knowing them at all, but on the trail, a single day can feel like weeks, and months can feel like years. You can bump into someone in the morning, and have a new "old friend," soulmate, or savior by the end of the day. In "Journeys North," Scout brings this community to life on the page vividly and emotionally, drawing us into not just his own life and experience, but of many others in his trail family- all making that journey north in a literal way collectively, as well as in their own personal ways figuratively. Along the way, he relates the highs and the lows of not just life on the trail, but of life in the "real world" as well. It's a crash course in empathy, determination, and sometimes just plain stubbornness. When I received the book and flipped through it quickly, I was at first surprised at the lack of photos- just a single page at the end with a handful of shots of the "main characters." But as I read the book, I quickly realized that Scout's richly descriptive prose paints a far better picture than any actual pictures could, and was grateful for the space he made for my imagination to play a part in his story. While no book could ever substitute for the actual experience of hiking a long trail, "Journeys North" serves as great inspiration for those who aspire to, as well as reassurance for their friends and family that they won't simply be disappearing into the wilderness alone.

If you are thinking of the Camino, This book is for you!
Format: Kindle
I just had a friend who walked 32 days on the Camino, and I chose this book to learn more about what it would be like. This was an excellent choice. The author outlines what pilgrims can expect and how to prepare for the experience. I had not realized there are six paths: The French, Northern, English, Portuguese, Orrigonal, and Silver Ways. It turned out that my friend was on the Portuguese way. The different paths range from three hundred to a thousand kilometers. The author goes through each of the "ways" and does a daily highlight of the number of kilometers one walks and the sights to expect. This book whetted my appetite to consider a walk like this; it would be a great resource for any pilgrim.
