I have bought some tubas. But unsure when to plant. Now living in Ridgley Tasmania. Can the tubas be left in garden or do they need to be lifted each year. Many years since I've grown them. Thanks. Gail

Hi John, I realise the forum i have been looking at was posted during 2012 but I have a client who wishes to grow Yams in melbourne. I have looked at the growing conditions required and now would like to check out possible sources. Thank you Michael
