Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 As far as I know the milky white sap inside sweet potato vines render them illegal on the SCD, just as the tubers are illegal.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Carol, I am not an SCD authority so I didn't speak up but from what I read I also agree with you that I think the vine is illegal. However I am unsure about the leaves. Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Marilyn, The question was specifically about the vine and leaves. Not the tubers. Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 The leaves contain the same white sap. When I worked as a horticulturist I propagated hundreds of sweet potato vines for ornamental plantings and I can attest to the fact that the whole plant contains that sticky white sap!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Carol, ROTFL! Thanks for that. I picture you " saying " this post out loud with a lot of disdain. LOL. Probably not the funnest thing to do getting all that sap all over you.. huh? Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
