As a seasoned Stardew Valley gamer with countless hours spent tending to my virtual farm and building relationships with the quirky townsfolk, I can wholeheartedly say that the 1.5 update was a game-changer! The introduction of Ginger Island and its unique offerings has added a thrilling new dimension to this already captivating game.
In the latest update (version 1.5) of Stardew Valley, a new area called Ginger Island has been added, which brings in a fresh dungeon, novel characters, and new crops/crafting recipes. Among these new introductions are Taro Tubers, seeds that were first seen in version 1.5. If you plant them, they will grow into Taro Roots over time. These roots can be quite beneficial if you have fishponds and are fulfilling special requests from the town’s board. The catch is that Taro Tubers cannot be purchased from Pierre’s General Store or Joja Mart. In Stardew Valley 1.5 and later versions, there are several ways to acquire Taro Tubers.
Where to Find Taro Tubers
Taro Tuber Locations (1.6)
Taro Roots are exclusively available on Ginger Island, a location you can access only after finishing the Community Center or Joja Mart project. You can cultivate them by:
- Tiger Slimes in the Volcano or the Farm area.
- Breaking open Golden Coconuts.
- Cutting weeds in the Jungle.
- Digging up artifact spots or panning around Ginger Island.
- Occasionally given by Lionfish Ponds (population of 4).
- Sold by Island Trader (unlocks with 10 Golden Walnuts) for two Bone Fragments.
How Long Do Taro Tubers Grow?
Where Should You Plant Them?
Taro Roots are a seasonal produce that thrive in summer, hence if you wish to cultivate them on your farm, it should be done during the summer months. It’s suggested to activate your farm on Ginger Island (requires 20 Golden Walnuts) so you can commence planting crops there.
Taro Roots typically require ten days for complete growth, but their development can be quickened by providing water and/or applying Speed-Gro fertilizer. You won’t need a scythe to harvest the Taro Roots, so there’s no need to fret about them accidentally falling into the river near the farmhouse on Ginger Island.
Just like Rice Shoots
, Taro Tubers that are planted by a river/lake will not need to be watered.
Where to Use Taro Roots
Fishponds, Cooking, and More
Taro Roots aren’t suitable as gifts for Abigail, Haley, Jas, Sam, and Vincent. Instead, it would be wiser to use them for something else.
- Four Taro Roots are required to make Poi, a recipe you receive in the mail from Leo at 3+ hearts.
- If you set up a Blue Discus fishpond, then they may ask you for 3 Taro roots (population: 3) and 10 Taro Roots (population: 5).
- Caroline may ask you to ship 100 Taro Roots by the end of the season (Island Ingredients). Completing this special order unlocks the crafting recipes for Solar Panels.
- Can be sewn to make a Shirt and Belt.
You can also trade Taro Roots with the Island Trader to get items and exclusive accessories.
