Taro

 Taro is a tropical plant thought to be one of plants first cultivated. Several Taro fields can be found near Princeville and I finally took some photos of these fields. Taro does not have to be grown submerged, but this evidently produces the largest root (gorms).  We have watched workers planting taro by hand and the source I read said most taro is also harvested by hand. I would think this to be hard work. The long distance is shot is a panorama I made from an overlook and is amazing when viewed full sized.
