Over-winter Dahlia Tubers
(page 3)
Separate the Tubers
Having
selected one or more tubers, separate them from the stem using a
sharp knife or large pair of scissors. The aim is to achieve as
clean a cut through the stem as possible. Each separated tuber
must include a part of the main stem.
The dahlia picture on the right shows a tuber being separated from the stem
using a pair of scissors. |

 |
The dahlia picture on the left shows the selected tuber separated from the stem,
but with a piece of the stem still attached. The 'eye' is arrowed, and
the stem piece is visible immediately above the 'eye'.
Remove all excess material from the tuber. |
Trim the Tubers
| The picture on the right shows a number of trimmed tubers. The
excess material has been removed which will help prevent rotting
during storage. Note that long tubers have been reduced in
length using a very sharp knife - in all cases however, the stem
portion at the top of the tuber has not been removed. |
