I grew one Yacon last year a couple of small tubers (just a taste) I have broken up the roots and put them into 200mm pots can I plant these into the garden now or should I dig them up and plat later if so when should I plant?. I live just north of Mackay Qld.

I have grown yacon for many years and I usually just replant immediately if I'm somewhere the frosts aren't too harsh. I live in a colder zone now so I have dug them up and put them inside and will replant after last frost date this year.
You only replant the rhizomes, not the tubers. So dig them up, eat the tubers and replant the rhizomes into individual spots.

We are on the coast 40Km north of Mackay and we are usually 2-3 degrees cooler than Rocky so I have been using the sub tropical zone and it usually works fine.
