How do you make a good dough for deep fried bread, ("BeaverTails, "Elephant Ears")?
I am looking for good recepies for dough for "BeaverTails", "Elephant Ears", "Fried Dough". Have searched the net and found some, but they just aren't right. How do you make the dough so that...you know if you pull it apart when it's cooked it's kinda fluffy and elasticy and chewy at the same time. Soda or yeast which is better for making it rise? How long do you have to knead it? Does it matter? What is the difference if i knead it for 5 minutes or 15 minutes? Why is the dough always so different after refrigeration? Why when i add yeast and let it sit it sometimes expandes like a ballon and sometimes seems to do almost nothing at all?, Do you keep adding flour to the dough mixture until it doesn't stick to your hands?, How flat do you roll it out before putting it in the oil? High glutton flour or regular flour which one should i use? Why?, Is there a cookbook on how to make different types of doughs? Please help. Thanks

How do i care for my elephant bulb?
my neighbor gave me a elephant ear bulb and told me to let it soak for 24 hours. why? next, is there any particular handling and planting info i should know. i plan on putting it in a pot.
How do i care for my elephant bulb?
DO NOT SOAK IT FOR 24 HOURS!!!
Plants are capable of growing two different types of roots.
One type of root is for growing in water, the other type of root is for growing in soil and they are not interchangable. Water roots will not work in soil and soil roots will not work in water.
This is the main reason people have trouble with getting other types of plants to root from cuttings, they stick the branch from their rose, tree, etc. into a cup of water, see new roots, plant it and a week later it dies.
All you have to do is plant the bulb in soil, a few inches below the surface and water it. Make sure that the soil remains slightly damp at all times and keep it in a very sunny window, or outside (best). It will grow just fine.
Lastly, soaking it in water, especially uncerculating water can lead the bulb to rotting.
Reply:You can't kill an elephant ear. I have grown them in water for months. Still have some -- would you care for more? Plunk it in the ground and be amazed at the Law of Abundance.
They do not like being potted as they are a very invasive plant - roots and shoots spread quickly. If you do pot it, they are heavy drinkers/feeders and want light indoors. Good luck, have fun~
Reply:My mother has beautiful elephant ears outdoors. She is in NC and leaves them out and they do multiply and come back every year. I live in MI and I did start my elephant ears indoors last year. Just put it in soil and it will grow. The bulb may be hard from being stored overwinter or she may be trying to help you make it root faster.....they are after all a tropical plant. I know I have to pull my ears bulbs back inside in the winter because the cold is severe here and they would not come back next year. They do like a heavier soil and seem to thrive in a clay based soil. If you keep it inside it will not be as full and pretty - they do like outdoor atmosphere better! And you will be hooked when you first see it peek thru the dirt! Enjoy .....

Having some problems winterizing my Elephant Ears.?
When winterizing my Elephant Ears, the root system always seems to turn mushy.....I live in Southern Ontario Canada so our summer is lenghty %26amp; winters getting much shorter. Any suggestions or tips on my dilemma would be much appreciated.
Having some problems winterizing my Elephant Ears.?
I live in northeast IL and I usually cut the elephant ears down once the first frost hits. I remove all the dirt and let them sit out to dry for a couple of days. I store them in loosely crumbled newspaper in a basket in my basement for the winter. I have had pretty good luck so far. You will need to check them during the winter to make sure there is no moisture that will rot them. I hope this helps.
Reply:Hi,
Like the other poster say, try drying them first and then put them away.
Lots of people just buy fresh ears each summer.
Reply:I live in western NC. Before the first frost, I cut off all the leaves just above ground. That's all I do, and they come back next year.

In which website can i find an African elephant ear?
Hehe Masterkush :-P
If it's a picture, try Google Images. The scientific name is Loxodonta africana.
If it's an actual ear... I guess that's illegal. Or isn't it?
Good luck!

Need help in care of Elephant ears?
I am hoping someone out there has Elephant Ears in their Garden and can be of some help...Ours are growing HUGE and I need to know if we need to tie them up with string or perhaps put a trellis near them?
Thank You!

If you have any tattered leaves cut them off, as far as keeping it from flopping over, you can use a pair of women's hose, maybe more than one pair. The panty hose will stretch with the growth of the plant and not dig into the tissue of the stems. It may look funny but be creative and camouflage the hose. Hope this helps!!!!
Reply:No pruning necessary unless they are encroaching too much. If they are all by their lonesome, let them go. This is normal for them. Some varieties can get to 8' tall but most stay in the 5' - 6' range. If you live in zone 8 or above you can leave the tuber in the ground through the winter. If you live in a zone other than 8 or above you will need to dig them up in the late fall. When the leaves begin to "yellow" dig up the tuber after cutting off all the foliage. Let the tuber dry for a couple of days in a shady locale. After surface area has dried, you can store the tuber in a cool dry place, free from any freezing temperatures. Store them in a burlap bag if possible, this allows for air to circulate around the tuber keeping it from rotting. In the spring, when all dangers of frost are gone (depending on your zone) you can plant them in full sun, at a depth of 2" to 3" deep. They will tolerate some shade however. This will get you started for another growing season..Repeat this scenario year after year..Unless of course you live in zones 8,9,or 10... Good luck!
Reply:you can if you want to tie them up, it depends on your personal tastes we liked ours drooping down some.Trellis should not be needed if only certain leaves are in your way, you can cut just those it will not harm them.

When can I plant Elephant Ear bulbs in Zone 5 (Ohio)?
I suggest waiting until about April 20 to plant summer bulbs in Zone 5. The ground is not warm enough to start their growth prior to then. However, if the next couple weeks continue like this weekend, you can get them in a week or 10 days earlier.
When can I plant Elephant Ear bulbs in Zone 5 (Ohio)?
Aprils good, but if they are up and its going to frost, cover them with plastic, then take the plastic off before the sun hits them the next day.
Reply:The best time to plant Elephant Ear bulbs in Ohio is in May.

What’s a professional estimate to remove topsoil and dense Elephant Ears (Caladiums) from a yard?
The yard is 20' X 30'.
The topsoil is full of rocks, gravel and shells. The problematic soil is on the immediate surface of the ground (ie, not deep).
The Elephant Ears have overgrown the yard.
The presence of the problematic soil and Elephant Ears is a by-product of a construction project on an adjacent lot.
The yard is in the southeastern United States.
Obviously, I'm just hoping for a ballpark figure.
Providing your credentials and basis for the estimate would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go to www.freecycle.org, find your local free cicle and post it as Free Top Soil and Free Plants, must come and dig etc ...craigslist.com works well too. Alot of smaller landscaping businesses will be gladly to do the work for free for the free stuff.

Reply:those are so good.
My mom used to make them all the time.
Not sure how to make them, but I think you can even make them out of biscuits- roll the dough coat with cinnamon and sugar and fry. Just guessing of course. I can ask her how though.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
3/8 cup shortening
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 quart oil for frying
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons white sugar
DIRECTIONS
In small saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, salt, 2 tablespoons sugar and shortening. Heat until shortening melts and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm, 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Sprinkle in yeast and let sit until foamy.
Transfer mixture to large bowl, and stir in flour to make a dough. Knead until smooth, cover and let rise 30 minutes.
In a large heavy skillet or deep fryer, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Roll out 1 to 2 inch balls of dough into thin sheets. Fry sheets 1 to 2 minutes on a side, until puffed and golden. Drain on paper towels.
Combine cinnamon and 6 tablespoons sugar. Sprinkle over warm pastries. Serve.
Try it, maybe it is good - it got good reviews.

Whats the name of this dessert, kind of like elephant ears- but a little thinner? Spanish recipe maybe?
When I was younger my mother used to buy these from a woman from San Salvador who was opening a bakery in New York, these desserts were so good they were big like elephant ears with a glaze, thin and some had sugar (granulated not powdered) sprinkled on top and others had raisins and other toppings. Does anyone know what these are called? I just need the name I could always find the recipe.

Churros
Ingredients:
Vegetable or Olive Oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Prepare to fry the churros by heating oil in a pan (1 to 1%26amp;1/2 inches) to 360 degrees F.
To make churro dough, heat water, margarine and salt to rolling boil in 3-quart saucepan; stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute; remove from heat. Beat eggs all at once; continue beating until smooth and then add to saucepan while stirring mixture.
Spoon mixture into cake decorators' tube with large star tip (like the kind use to decorate cakes), then squeeze 4-inch strips of dough into hot oil. Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time until golden brown, turning once, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Mix sugar and cinnamon; roll churros in sugar or dump the sugar on the pile of churros, like the pros.
Note: REAL churros in Spain are made without cinnamon mixed with the sugar, but the cinnamon adds an extra nice flavor.
Chocolate for Churro Dunking
4oz dark chocolate, chopped
2 cups milk
1 TBSP cornstarch
4 TBSP sugar
Place the chocolate and half the milk in a pan and heat, stirring, until the chocolate has melted. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining milk and whisk into the chocolate with the sugar. Cook on low heat, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about five minutes. Add extra cornstarch if it doesn't start to thicken after 5 minutes. Remove and whisk smooth. Pour and serve in cups or bowls for dunking churros. Do not pour over churros, but use the mix for dunking churros after every bite, serve warm.

Churros
Things You’ll Need:
Saucepan, 3 qt.
Bowl
Pastry tube with a large tip
Frying pan
Paper towels
Saucepan, small
Whisk
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup flour
3 eggs
Cooking oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
4 oz. dark chocolate
2 cups milk
1 TBSP. corn starch
Prepare the Churros
Step 1:
Place the water, butter, salt and flour in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir over low heat until the mixture congeals into a ball (about 1 minute). Remove the pan from the heat source.
Step 2:
Beat the eggs in a bowl until they are smooth, then stir them slowly into the mixture. The resulting dough should be fairly thick, but also smooth and pliable.
Step 3:
Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan or skillet until it is sizzling.
Step 4:
Spoon the dough mixture into a pastry tube and squeeze it out into lengths of 4 to 5 inches apiece.
Step 5:
Place each strip of dough on the skillet (3 or 4 at a time). Cook them for about 4 minutes apiece or until the dough is a golden brown. Turn the churros once about midway through to make sure they cook evenly.
Step 6:
Remove the churros from the pan and lay them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Step 7:
Mix the cinnamon with 1/4 cup of sugar, then roll the churros in the mixture. The sugar and cinnamon should stick to the dough.
Make the Chocolate Dip
Step 1:
Place the chocolate and the milk in a pan and warm slowly, over low-to-medium heat. Stir it regularly, until the chocolate is completely melted.
Step 2:
Add the corn starch and about 1/4 cup of sugar to the mixture of milk and chocolate, blending them in gradually with a whisk.
Step 3:
Let the mix simmer over low heat, whisking constantly, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. (The corn starch will make the dipping sauce congeal sufficiently.)
Step 4:
Pour the sauce into a bowl or similar receptacle.
Step 5:
Dunk the churros in the chocolate sauce as you eat them.

of a leaf,you will die of a heart attack. is this true? As a child and teen, I remember a man up my street that had lots of elephant ears and his wife died one day.Then a year later the lady next door to him died, then the lady across the street. The 3 men were all friends.Kind of strange as I think back on this.
Elephant ears -my dad pointed these out to me in his yard and said,if you injest a tiny piece?
I found the following information
Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane), Elephant Ear All parts Intense burning and irritation of the mouth and tongue. Death can occur if base of the tongue swells enough to block the air passage of the throat.
So, a heart attack? No. But suffocation, yes, it's possible.
Reply:The part that is poisonious is the "juices". If the plant is broke apart where the "juices" get out then yes it can be dangerous if consumed. I don't believe they cause heart attackes though.
Reply:Do they eat a lot of poisonous plants in your street ? Avoid all contact with this plant, particularly keep it away from children and pets. Better still ,put it in the dustbin.
Reply:i all ways herd that the plant was posion idk if its true

Is Elephant ear plant annual?
I'm a horticultulist. Where are you located? If you freeze, it will most likely die. It can survive frosts. In the deep South it lives all year and is considered an invasive.
Is Elephant ear plant annual?
But you can lift it from the garden, store indoors over the winter, and replant after danger of frost is past in the spring.
Reply:It is anywhere it frosts. It will live year around in mild climates.

How deep do i plant my elephant ear bulbs?
Plant bulbs blunt end down beneath 2 inches of soil. Fertilize and water regularly.
How deep do i plant my elephant ear bulbs?
You silly...you need to deep fry elephant ears!
Reply:I only put mine down a foot or so when originally planted. Now that they have multiplied and it was necessary to divide them up, I learned that the roots can go very deep. Make sure you put them where you want them to stay because it is very hard to remove them without digging a very large, deep hole or they will keep coming back.

Why have Elephants Ear bulbs not grown?
I bought two bulbs at 5 pounds each. Two months ago I planted one outside mixed with soil from the garden and new compost and I planted one indoors in a conservatory that's not cold. I forget the Latin name of the plants but they're called Elephant Ears and big green leaves. Nothing has grown yet and I was wondering why?
Why have Elephants Ear bulbs not grown?
They need to be started indoors and only transplanted when it is warm outdoors.
Here are a couple of links you can check. The second one has the green leaves.

I planted elephant ears approx. 2 weeks ago and have seen nothing come up through the soil. Any ideas?
i planted elephant ears approx. 2 weeks ago and, have yet to see any buds break through the soil. any suggestions?

Give them time, sometimes the first year they are slow to get going, but once they get established, they will be booming!
Reply:If you planted them in a pot , keep your pot in the sun so the soil can warm up. Keep the soil moist. If they are in the ground, you just have to wait until the earth warms up to the correct temperature for an elephant ear to sprout. Hopefully you didn't plant it to deep, if you do not see new growth in a month, dig around like Sarah did, you may have to replant closer to the surface and make sure the bulb is root end down.
Good Luck to ya!!!
Reply:Sometimes mine take weeks to bud through the soil, but when they finally do.... they grow fast! Takes a while for that soil to warm up the way they like it.
Be patient!

Reply:This was a bulb I assume? Give it time and patience and it should soon sprout some greenery in about 1 to 2 weeks..good luck
Reply:Keep them watered and give them time.
Reply:Keep waiting. Elephant ears take a while.
Reply:I would give them time. Mine took weeks to come up. Just keep the soil moist.......ok, I don't know if this is good, as I am a little impatient, but my elephant ears didn't seem to be coming up, so I gently dug down in the soil to peek at them. I thought maybe I had bought bad tubers. But I found them and they were coming up. They just needed time. Good luck!

How far back should I cut my elephant ears for winter storage ?
I live in missouri (not sure what zone that is?) when should I dig up my elephant ears, and how far back should I cut them for winter storage? Is an unheated garage ok for storage or should I put them in my heated basement?
How far back should I cut my elephant ears for winter storage ?
After the first frost, the leaves will turn brown. Cut the leaves off about 1 inch from the surface of the ground. Carefully dig the bulb from the ground, and remove all lose dirt from the bulb. Store the bulb in the basement, letting the bulb dry out completely. If it doesn't dry out, it could become moldy and die. In the spring, when the threat of freezing temperatures has passed, replant the bulb for another summer of tropical foliage.
Reply:let them die off naturally first. then before the first freeze, cut back to about 2" from the bulb. dig them up and store them in a cool dry place (this should not get below 40 degrees). If you have an outdoor refrigerator, that would work just fine. Otherwise, bring them inside and store them in a closet.
do not wrap them in foil or saran wrap as they may mold. I usually put mine in an old shoe box
good luck
Reply:I cut mine back down to the bulb after I dig them up.(I live in missouri to)
Reply:i'm not sure how cold it gets in your winter but i'd cut them to the base ( and certainly not worry about digging them up ) and they should sprout again next season
Reply:Try to wait until the leaves have turned brown. Then you can dig them up an trim back the stems to an inch or so. Store in cool, dry place for the winter. If they seem to be drying out too much, give them an occasional misting with water. They will still need adequate air circluation so they won't rot.
Reply:Cut them so they are just below your hairline. If I had elephant ears, I would grow my hair to cover them
Reply:I live in Tennessee, and I don't dig mine up, after the leaves die off cut them back to about two inches and put about five inches of mulch on them, in the spring spread out the mulch and it will start growing againmy neighbor covers hers after trimming with one of the foam rose bush covers.
Reply:elephant ears grow from a bulb, and they are tropical. So, keep them from freezing at all! Cut them back to about an inch from the top of the bulb before storing them.
Reply:Cut them back to approximately 1 inch above ground - I would keep them in the basement - they are usually hardy to about 40 degrees, so the unheated garage will be too cold.

How do I make those giant elephant ears you get at the fair?
I want to make the elephant ears you get at the fair. Not the funnel cakes. This is like a dough that is fried and dusted with cinnamon sugar. I would like any other fair food recipe as well. Thanks to all who help!!
How do I make those giant elephant ears you get at the fair?
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4-1/2 cup butter
1 package active dry yeast
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water (105 to 115 degrees F.)
5 1/2-6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash freshly grated nutmeg
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
vegetable oil (for frying)
confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar
Heat milk with butter until butter melts.
Set aside to cool to lukewarm.
Stir yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar into warm water and let stand until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine milk and yeast mixtures with 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, and nutmeg.
Stir until smooth.
Cover and let stand until bubbly, 30 minutes.
Stir in beaten eggs, then add additional flour to make a soft but not sticky dough.
Turn dough onto a floured board and knead until smooth, supple, and elastic, about 8 minutes.
Return dough to bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until dough is doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down and divide into 4 pieces.
Divide each piece into 4 or 5 pieces.
Put several inches of oil in a large, deep pan such as a chicken fryer or heavy dutch oven.
Heat to about 360 degrees F.
Work each ball of dough with the hands, shaping into a large disk, about 10 inches long and 6 inches wide.
Fry one at a time, turning once, until nicely browned.
Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar or cinnamon sugar while hot.
Serve while warm
Reply:Lemon sticks make me think of the fair. I had one a few days ago...so good. Roll the lemons a few times to loosen the juices. Cut the top off of lemon then take the knife and twist in center of lemon to make opening to fill with a peppermint stick. Suck the peppermint stick like a straw and the lemon juice will come through it. Yum!!!
Reply:Elephant ears are pie dough deep fried with cinnimon and sugar on then. Any good pie dough recipe will do. Just roll out to the size you want, drop into hot oil, fry till golden brown. When you take them out sprinke with sugar and cinnimon.
Very yummy.
Reply:I make little ones at my home.Buy frozen dough at the supermarket let it that and grow.then heat some oil in a pan the place pieces of dough in the pan when they turn brown remove then place in sugar.

I planted my bulbs yesterday in pots. Do I water them a lot now, or wait till they sprout? and how soon do they sprout?
Thanks
Planting Elephant Ear bulbs?
Elephant ears can be temperamental until they start growing then if furnished with plenty of watter fertilizer and semi shade ,it's fantastic how large they grow. They do best in soil that has a lot of compost or animal manure include in the potting mixture.

How to make good elephant ears?
my mom is trying to make them, but she doesnt have yeast, though she did find a recipe that didnt include yeast and we just made them, and they came out more like cinnamon rolls rather than elephant ears, they were also small. what is the best way for my mom to make them without frying them, would prefer baking, and without yeast?
How to make good elephant ears?
Elephant Ears
Popular at outdoor fairs and amusement parks this treat is often topped with cinnamon, ice cream, lemon, apple pie filling and more. This recipe is modified a bit- it is baked and not fried- so lower in fat than the original, fried elephant ear.
1/4 Cup butter, melted
1 Cup flour
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 c. milk
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Sugar
1. Stir flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in bowl.
2. Add milk and 2 Tbps. of the melted butter and stir until until dough forms.
3. Knead dough 10-12 times on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a rectangle, about 9 x 5 inch.
4. Brush with remaining butter, using a pastry brush. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon mixture.
5. Roll up tightly, jelly roll style. Pinch edges of dough into roll to seal. Cut into 4 equal pieces.
Place cut sides up on cookie sheet, then pat down so they are 6 inches across. Sprinkle with more sugar.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Makes 4 elephant ears.
Reply:Palmiers (Elephant Ears) Recipe
Ingredients
Lots of granulated sugar
Puff pastry
Parchment Paper (aka baking paper) or a Silpat baking mat
Method
1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of sugar over your workstation. Roll out the puff pastry to about 10X12 inches. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of sugar (and spices if using) over the dough.
2 Roll up the left vertical side inward, stopping in the middle of the dough. Roll up the right side of the dough. The two rolls should be meeting at the middle and touching. Press the two sides together gently and let the dough chill in the fridge for at least half an hour. Repeat with any more puff pastry you may have.
3 Starting at one end, cut off pieces of the log, in slices about 1/2 inch in thickness. Lightly sprinkle sugar onto each side. Pinch and press the sides of the two rolls together to ensure that they don't unroll during baking. Place on large parchment lined baking sheets, or a baking sheet lined with a Silpat. They will increase size dramatically, so leave plenty of room between each cookie and only bake a dozen at a time.
4 Set the tray in the middle of the oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the sugar has caramelized. Allow them to cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

How can you get rid of elephant ears?
I planted elephant ears in my backyard last year and now they're popping up everywhere! I'd prefer not to put holes throughout my lawn. What's the best way to get rid of them or stop them from spreading?
How can you get rid of elephant ears?
chop them down and dig up all the bulbs, no more elephant ears
Reply:Dig them up %26amp; give them to me!!! Just dig down to the bulb(in northern climates we have to dig up every fall %26amp; replant next spring). Get all the bulbs they won't come back.
Reply:Since you are going to have to dig up the bulbs, please let me know if you are willing to ship them. I would be interested.

In Maryland, what are the trees that have purple trumpet-like flowers & the leaves get big like elephant ears?
The trumpet like flowers are only in the Spring and the "horn" part points downward. I've heard these trees nicknamed "elephant ear trees" and also heard this is the wood most commonly used now for piano keys (versus the old fashioned ivory). they are common in Harford county and can grow like 50' tall. What in the dickens are they called?
In Maryland, what are the trees that have purple trumpet-like flowers %26amp; the leaves get big like elephant ears?
I agree with the above, Paulownia tree. Actually Paulownia is the genus name for many different species found around the work, but mostly China and other Asian countries.
The genus was names in honor of Queen Anna Pavlovna of The Netherlands (1795–1865), daughter of Tsar Paul I of Russia.
Paulownia fortunei is a fast-growing tree that is grown commercially for the production of hardwood timber, but in this country it is mainly an ornamental growing multiple feet a year.
Paulownia tomentosa is listed as an invasive species in the southeastern United States, having been introduced there as an ornamental tree for its decorative flowers.
It is important to know what Paulownia you are planting. While bother are fast growing, the P. tomentosa can escape cultivation in milder areas, that is it becomes a weed displacing native plants.

Reply:Cottonwood trees is what we sometimes call them down here (but most commonly, elephant ear trees), but in nurseries they are called Paulownia. I'm sure it's the same one that you're talking about though, purple trumpet blooms in spring, leaves can easily get 12" across and have a kind of...furry texture on top, for lack of a better word. The backs of the leaves are sometimes kind of sticky. They get HUGE and grow quick.

Elephant Ear plant. Mature plant. Want leaves, however, plant is sprouting flowers. How to fix & get leaves.
Clip off any flowers, but leave other new growth if there is any. Then re-pot the plant in something much larger. Usually the elephant ears only produce flowers when root-bound, so a larger pot will stop that reaction. (Also the "shock" of re-pottng....)

What kind of elephant ears bloom flowers?
i had an elephant ear that bloomed a real pretty white flower a long time ago. does anybody know what kind of elephant ear that is?
What kind of elephant ears bloom flowers?
Technically ALL plants bloom eventually. The flowers you remember bloom on just a regular elephant ear, as well as most any kind of caladium (the family that elephant ears belong to). Usually you don't want your ears to bloom because it takes energy away from growing large leaves. However, if want to urge them to bloom try using a high phosphorus fertilizer. Phosphorus is the middle number on the N-P-K of a fertilizer.
Reply:I did not know they bloomed at all.
People get them because they have a different leaves and some get ridiculously huge.
Kids love them for that reason.
Flowers would be nice though!

What kind of elephant ears bloom flowers?
Technically ALL plants bloom eventually. The flowers you remember bloom on just a regular elephant ear, as well as most any kind of caladium (the family that elephant ears belong to). Usually you don't want your ears to bloom because it takes energy away from growing large leaves. However, if want to urge them to bloom try using a high phosphorus fertilizer. Phosphorus is the middle number on the N-P-K of a fertilizer.
Reply:I did not know they bloomed at all.
People get them because they have a different leaves and some get ridiculously huge.
Kids love them for that reason.
Flowers would be nice though!

Elephant ear queston??
well i have elephant ear plants and i do not know what to do when there is bad weather, such as wind and very cold air.Well it killed all my elephant ears but i grew them again. The wind was hard and pushed them and they get fragile and torn.So do i chop it, and cover it up with mulch, or any good ideas for it to look pretty and be strong for the bad weather.
Elephant ear queston??
I live in horticulture zone 7a and my elephant ears always come back in the spring. When the frost takes them in the fall just cut back the old dead growth and wait for them to re appear. Now if during the spring and summer you end up with a funky leaf just cut it back to the ground. If the wind is always messing them up you might consider planting a windbreak by them to help break the wind. Is it the south wind? Most likely. Make sure they get the water they need in the summer. Hope this helps.
Reply:Well my elephant ears would shrivel and die in the winter but they always just came back on their own. They are a very hardy plant. I would just chop them down when they start to look bad and wait for them to come back in the spring.
Reply:Does this bad weather only occur in the winter. if it does cut the plant completly and it will come back stronger and better in a month or so. THAT IS IF YOU DONT GET COLD. if you do get cold it willcome back in the spring. also try adding some plant food. i did and the leaves came from 5 inches in diameter to 1.5 feet in one month. also it grew from 1 foot to 3 feet. also it was much stronger and now it is surviving frosts!
If it is very wind put another plant that is sturdy so it can block the wind.

Can the elephant ear be planted in a pond?
I have seen where people, keeping them in pots of soil, put them in their Koi ponds. They look great and seem to be
growing well. I have thought about putting them in mine but I have enough plants there.
Can the elephant ear be planted in a pond?
Actually yes. In Hawaii they are grown in shallow ponds as a food crop. The tubers are harvested, crown and a portion of the tuber are removed and replanted. They like full sun and wet feet.
Reply:I think that might be to much water, try on the edge
Reply:no--but you can plant it at the edge --bout 2 ' from the water--elephant ears like wet conditions but not completely in the water
Reply:yes, but no deeper than 6 inches or it will rot. also make sure it is a warm sunny pond
Reply:In a shallow pond I think yes,they like their roots to be damp.
Reply:Sure. Much of the taro family of plants can be grown in shallow water. I have taro growing in my pond and have had colocasia (black taro or black elephant ear) growing in the past in the pond. Elephant ear is too big for my pond (10x15), but there's no reason it wouldn't be good in a larger pond.

Is it true that if you ingest elephant ear plants you can have a heart attack?
No, it is not true. Elephant's Ear is known to be toxic, but not because of the plant's effects on the heart.
Part of what Shane says is true: Elephant's Ear and many other plants of the same family contain needle-shaped calcium oxalate crystals which are a means of defense against plant-eating animals. When the leaves and stems are chewed, these crystals are ejected from specialized cells called idioblasts (not unlike shrapnel from a bomb) and lodge in the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat and tongue.
As you can imagine, having these tiny sharp crystals lodged in the lining of your mouth and throat can trigger local inflammation/irritation and cause burning and swelling, drooling and difficulty speaking.
As uncomfortable and unpleasant as this sounds, though, ingestion of Elephant's Ear plants is usually not life-threatening, and in most cases giving something like milk or cold water to relieve the irritation or just waiting it out is all that is needed. No cases of heart attacks from eating these plants have been reported. Hope that helps!

I live in S.E. VA -- Should I cut-back or dig-up Elephant Ear bulbs for the Winter??
I bought a HUGE Elephant Ear bulb (bigger than a grapefruit) from Lowe's this past May %26amp; it was a Bountiful producer (had to walk around it on the corner I planted it)! Will it survive the winter if I didn't cut the leaves back before the recent frost hit it?

i live in east texas and i have elephant ears every year that keep on coming back and i do nothing to them at all .... except keep giving a whole lot of them away every late spring!
Reply:You only have to dig it up if you get snow in your area. In SoCal we don't get snow so we leave ours in the ground. They die back but they return every year.
Good luck :-)
Reply:No, Elephant ear plants are tropical but can be overwintered in cold climates. Just dig up the corms and keep them in a cool, but not freezing basement or garage. During this period of dormancy, keep the corms dry. Replant in spring when danger of frost has passed.

Reply:yep, it doesn't know the difference
Reply:Is that not the Rex Begonia..They are tough. I expect with a bit of care it will return again.
Reply:That sort of depends....Usually, half of it will grow....the half that has the top sprout on it. The rest will probably die out slowly. If it does not have any green leaves growing out of it yet, I would take it out of the ground and put it in a container of water with a little bleach in it. ( About a quart of water to about four tablespoons of bleach.) This will sterilize it so that no little vermin or bacteria or mold will invade the cut area. After about five minutes, take it out and plant it in a good soil and water it. Be sure that the sprout points UP. It might not get as big the first year as it would have if you had not cut it, but I think it will grow just fine. If it already is growing leaves, just stand it up as best you can and recover the bulb and water it, and it will eventually recover.

Any suggestions for planting elephant ear bulbs. cant think of any patterns to plant them in. Need a bed.?
Landscapers use Elephant's Ear in beds and borders; the foliage is especially attractive by the waterside. Needs deep, rich, moist soil, shelter from wind; prefers light shade. In the Deep South plant tubers directly outdoors, 3 to 6ft. apart in spring; elsewhere start tubers into growth in pots of soil indoors or in a greenhouse eight to ten weeks before setting plants outdoors in late spring after settled warm weather arrives. water freely in summer.
Plants may remain undisturbed through winter in the Deep Sout; elsewhere, lift after the first killing frost and store in the same manner as cannas.
If you live in Tennessee, most people in Tennessee dig up
their elephant ear plants and stored them inside during the winter.

Do you still have to lift and store Elephant Ear bulbs in the Seattle area? The climate is pretty temperate, as we have the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other... I just planted the corms out in my swamp and was wondering.
Elephant Ear Plants, Seattle Area?
Good question. I think you will be pretty safe in over wintering them in Seattle. You do sometimes get a snow but I've never heard of it actually freezing there. I know here (zone 5) we have to dig them up. Maybe it would be safer to cut them down to ground level or even put some mulch (leaves, hay, etc.) around them to protect them a little more.
Reply:Planting Zones for Elephant Ear is zone 8 and above, elephant ears can be left outside year-round. Elephant ears aren't indigenous to Florida but have become naturalized in some wetland areas in the southern half of the state and are widespread. In fact, elephant ear plants are considered invasive plants there. In cold climates, elephant ear plants are treated as annuals, allowing us our own little piece of "tropical landscaping" -- albeit short-lived.
Elephant ears are heavy feeders; fertilize them with a fertilizer high in nitrogen. Elephant ear plants are tropical but can be overwintered in cold climates.

Reply:Hi! I'm in Louisiana not Georgia but the climate is mostly the same. Down here the elephant ear grows anywhere and every where! It seems they like a lot of water as the grow very well in the ditches around here. When it starts getting cool the stalks and leaf just die off and the bulb lies dormant till spring sprouting new growth. I've never done anything special to the ones in front of my house to get them to grow they just did. I'm not sure if this helped or not but best of luck, they are a very nice looking plant.

I need to know how to care for elephant ear plants in pots in the sun on my patio?
I too grow elephant ears in pots..very large pots. They get sun most of the day. I was told they won't grow in the sun but they will if you give them enough water. You didn't say your location. I'm in NC and I wait till the sun goes down and I give them nearly a gallon of water every other day. But I keep in mind that they are a shade plant so I will move them if they start to show stress. I haven't had to move them in 3 years. Make sure you have drain holes in your pot so they will not rot from "wet feet"
I need to know how to care for elephant ear plants in pots in the sun on my patio?
That's cruel, elephants need a much bigger enclosure than a typical garden pot, although you didn't state whether they were indian or african elephants. Perhaps you should consider repotting with something more appropriate for a patio, such as mouse ear plants?
Reply:They do much better in the shade. They like to be watered.

My elephant ear plants are turning brown around the edge of the ears. does anyone know why?
Browning around the outer edges of a leaf usually indicates a lack of water; water is not getting out to the edge of the leaf.
Water thoroughly so that water comes out the bottom of the pot into a saucer. Let sit for 30-60 minutes, then drain. Repeat once a week or when the top inch of the soil is dry.
You can trim away the browned part with scissors.

Are they in the ground or in pots? Brown on the edge if they are in containers might mean salt burn especially if they are not draining properly. Make sure they have good drainage and part shade. Water well about twice a week.
It's really difficult to diagnose with limited info.
Reply:it could be that they arent being watered enough when you do water, watering althe way through the container until it runs out the bottom, make sure the pot has good drainage, dont over fertilize, more is not better
Reply:Brown usually means not enough water - yellow usually means too much water.

What is elephant ear?
It is a fried pastry sometimes with fruit topping and sugar and sometimes sprinkled with just sugar. they are very tasty, you would enjoy them.
Reply:we call it fried dough, but elephant ears have lemon squeezed on them over the sugar and cinnamon. They are still awesome.
Reply:elephant ear is a tropical plant with large leaves shaped like an elephants ear. they grow all over the south, especially in florida.i personally have never heard of eating it, but to each his own
Reply:oh my goodness....it's only the best thick piece of dough fried in oil and dusted with sugar and cinnamon.........i go to the fair just to get one!!!
Reply:it's a large sugary treat that is flat and it's shaped like an elephant's ear...kinda tastes like a very crispy snickerdoodle cookie. yummy!!
Reply:It's like a really dense cookie. They are sometimes crescent shaped and are sprinkled with powdered sugar or Cinnamon. Either way, they are delicious.
Reply:An elephant ear is a big piece of fried dough that's brushed with melted butter and dusted with sugar and cinnamon. It's sooooo good. I remember those when I went to county fairs.
Reply:Over here, it is black fungus. The edible type. Used mostly in Chinese cuisine.
Reply:it's sort of like a funnel cake but it is shaped like an elephants ear and it is way better than funnel cakes!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope that i helped you answer your q.
Reply:An elephant ear is a goofy northwestern US name for frybread. Here in the southwest, it often gets called "indian frybread" or "Navajo frybread". It's just a bread made of flour, baking soda, shortening or oil, and a touch of salt sometimes. You make it about 3/4 inch thick, about the size of a dinner plate, and then you deep-fry it.
Then, the fun part is topping them. As a dinner food, you use it in place of a tortilla, and build a tostada-type food, with beans, meat, and veggies. Sour cream and guacamole are common, too. As a dessert food, people like to top them with powdered or granulated sugar, cinnamon, honey, or some combination thereof.
And they're REALLY good.
Side story, when I was a kid, I bought an elephant ear at a fair in Oreon. I asked the vendor if it was similar to frybread.. she said no, it's not similar to frybread. So I bit into it and discovered that she was right, it's not similar to frybread, it's EXACTLY like frybread. But, moral of the story, apparently some "elephant ear" people are a little weird about pretending it's something different and unique. So be careful to call it what the vendor calls it, lest you offend somebody!
Reply:Fried dough is a North American food associated with outdoor food stands in carnivals, amusement parks, fairs, rodeos, and seaside resorts (though it can be made at home). Fried dough is the specific name for a particular variety of food; see the accompanying images for an example of use on carnival-booth signage. Fried dough is also known as elephant ears, and frying saucers; these foods are virtually identical to each other, and recognizably different from other fried dough foods such as doughnuts, beignets or fritters. An Italian variant common in North America is zeppole
It is made by deep-fat-frying a portion of risen yeast dough. It is usually served sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon or topped with fruit sauce. Sometimes it is also topped with chocolate sauce or whipped cream. The dough acquires an irregular, bubbly appearance from being fried.
Funnel cake
Funnel cake is a somewhat similar food, but is made with an unleavened batter and shaped by being poured through a funnel. Native American Indian fry bread is another similar deep-fried bread and may have inspired fried dough.

BeaverTails
In Canada, fried dough pieces are commonly known as BeaverTails, from a brand name that has entered common parlance, though in Newfoundland pan-fried dough is known as Toutons. BeaverTails are oval-shaped like their namesake. Common toppings include cinnamon, lemon, and maple syrup. The first BeaverTails restaurant opened in Ottawa more than 25 years ago, and now has more than 130 locations around the world. BeaverTails are a popular treat for skaters on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa during the winter

Elephant ear question?
I live in an area where it snows. I planted elephant ears this year and they did very well. Am I supposed to dig them up? If yes when do I do it? Do you cut all the leaves off and then dig it. How are you supposed to store them? Basically I would like to have step by step instructions. Thankyou
Elephant ear question?
Gardenersnet.com states: After the plants have died back in the fall, dig up bulbs. Clean and store them in a cool, dark area until planting the following spring.
Emilycompost.com says that in areas where they must be taken up for the winter, keep the tubers dry while dormant. Divide in the spring when setting out.
So basically, once the foliage has died back, cut off the greenery and dig up the tubers. When it says to clean them, I would brush the dirt off, but don't use water to rinse them -- excess moisture can cause them to rot or mold in storage. In the same vein, I would store them in your garage or in a closet in a paper bag rather than a plastic one, so that any moisture they may release or bring with them doesn't condense and promote molding. Replant them in the spring after the frosts have passed (both sites also mention that the tubers should be planted the right way up; when in doubt, plant the tubers sideways and they'll figure it out from there)
Reply:Why would you want to dig them up? Elephant Ear plants are so awesome looking. When it gets cold just put thin blankets or thick cheap sheets over and around them. It'll insulate them without you having to do all that digging and stuff.
Reply:They are "malangas", or "taro". I bring mine inside, but you can force dormancy by pulling them out of the soil, cutting off all the leaves and storing away in a dark, cool place (not cold).
Trim everything off down to the bulb
Reply:Wait until the first frost. Dig the bulbs and put them in a cool dry place and allow the to dry out. Store them in dry peat moss or vermiculite. As an added bonus- you can in the spring divide the bulbs by cutting them from the top to teh bottom leaving one growing point on each section, then dusting them with sulphur .
Reply:Cut them back to the ground. Dig them up. Put them in a brown paper bag and store it in your basement or any cool dry place. Next spring plant them in another location. They like nitrogen and acidic soil (epsom salts) and part to full shade. (I'm in SC and have many thriving in full sun, go figgure, but the pros say shade is preferred.) When you plant them in the spring put a generous portion of dried leaves in the bottom of the hole = nitrogen, organic goodies for them. Also give them a good drink at planting of root stimulator (fertilome.) good luck.
Reply:Dig. They will freeze if the temp gets below 15 degrees for more than a couple of days. I have one that keeps coming up every year, but its twin did not make it. Mine are sheltered, and we rarely get below 20 degrees, but the bulbs will freeze and die if you get a decent amount of snow.
