At certain points during the Dragon Ball Z-serie, the group receives a bag of
Senzu Beans from Korin. Senzu Beans are very nutritious and heal wounds,
sometimes even saving people from life-threatening injuries.

Knowing that, it would be stupid not to have extra Senzu Beans on hand.
Unfortunately, the only one who's able to grow them is Korin.

_Is there a reason why nobody else can grow Senzu Beans, other than
difficulty?_ I'd imagine regular people can learn to grow beans, even if
they're magical.

question
dragon-ball-z
Is Korin the only one able to grow Senzu Beans?


An [entry for Korin](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Korin) in the Dragon
Ball [wikia](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) states that, **_Korin
is the only one who grows the Senzu Beans which..._** and that **_Korin Tower
is the only place in the world they are grown..._**

Apart from that, the [entry for Senzu
Beans](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Senzu_Bean) depicts Korin as the
inventor of the Senzu Beans.

Based on that, it can be presumed that one of these are true:

  1. Korin invented the Senzu Beans and thus he is the only one who can cultivate them.
  2. The Senzu Beans need a very particular habitat to grow and Korin Tower happens to be the only place matches its needs. 

Do note however, that the wikia does not mention if there was any _explicit_
reference to this matter in the Manga.
