Hi David - i am just wondering if you have any spare yacon corms - i am happy to buy them. There are some on gumtree in Burnie but the seller said they would be very expensive to post to me in Hobart. No worries if none avaiable. Regards Allison

Hi Allison I am more than happy to give you some shoots to grow. email me on [email protected] and I will deliver you some. I live on one side of Hobart and work on the other side so getting some to you shouldn't be difficult.

Hello, I would also like to grow Yacon ...... I live in Forcett, can you give me tips on growing this plant too. Do you have any plants?

Hi, Daleys nursery will ship to Tassie and WA as I just bought some yacon and most companies will not ship to WA and Tassie. However it is pricey to ship because of the quarantine laws I think 2 tubers cost me around $80 to WA. the tubers themselves were only about $15
