We have had to slice large chunks off the giant gunnera ... it was getting too large for its alloted space
And nobody wants any roots
Hopefully we have helped to keep it in trim for this coming year

Those roots are enormous! I have admired your massive Gunnera from afar, can't believe that no one wants to give it a try.

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

I'd like to try one but it can get pretty hot & dry here & I've read it needs lots of water.
Maybe I'll try to find some seeds.

Wow, I'm so jealous. I tried for years to grow them and they always died. I can't believe nobody wants your roots? That's crazy!

The size of those roots make me a believer in 'not in my tiny yard!'
