Work out your climate zone from the blue at top and then check yams - similar to potatoes.

I live in Hobart Tasmania, I saw the OCA at Hill Street Grocer and decided to try it i liked what i tried and went back and bought a couple of kilo 1 kilo to eat and the other to let chit and then i will plant it out. I know it isn't seed quality but it was grown in Tasmania so expect it will be ok to plant, I was unable to purchase OCA seed. Hope this helps. PS The OCA was only available at the West Hobart shop at the time and i haven't seen at the others.

Hello can you grow Oca in the tropics maybe during the cooler drieronths? No frost up here, just concerned about planting in the wet season as its ver hot 35 degrees plus most days.

Hi Malcom, in Tasmania you can usually find oca for sale as providence growers (Salamanca market or roadside stall at Nieka), and sometimes in store when it’s harvest time at hill st, young’s veggie shed and organic grocers.

I am seeking Yellow Yam in Australia. I live in Perth Western Australia. I want to grow the yam for personal use. I think Jamaican Yam is of the plant species in the genus Dioscorea. Are you able to assist please?
