They look so much like Jicama. I had one many years ago. Nice looking plants that are not too hard to find. Best as indoors outside of a warm 10a/ 10b climate.

They get a lot bigger than that... but then they are too heavy to bring in to a show... they develop into small trees, admittedly low to the ground, with vining branches all over the place
