Topi Tambo

Topi tambo { Calathea Allouia (Marantaceae) } sometimes called tipi tambo by some Trinis is a tuber that is popular around Carnival/Lent time because that is when it is ready for harvesting.They usually grow in "patches" (our Trini term) and according to the size of the "patch", can yield hundreds of topi tambo. Based on experience I find that topi tambo likes to grow in loose soil so much so
