from greenthumb, thriving and blooming next to redbud in shade, I think mine is a male plant

2021 april, moved some to redbud next to oakleaf hydrangea. Not the greatest idea, as the leaf shapes (redbud, dioscorea) are so similar!
4.22.2022 moved the rest to the base of hickory tree way in corner. Both chunks just now making first shoots.
5.1.2023 growing well
11.12.23 dug up two big clusters of roots. Planted one at the hearts a burstin and the other at a walnut, with blue twine to mark them. The one on the redbud did well and has loveley yellow fall color
