I live on the mid north coast of NSW, my sister gave me some yacon to try also one sprouting, unfortunately I think I might have killed it with kindness and am looking to get more tubers for growing and also is there anywhere in our area where I can purchase to use as have used in salads and in stir fries and thoroughly enjoy their freshness and texture.

You can often get small plants and the tubers for eating from Colin Amos at the Wauchope Farmers Market.
