[Pil-pc-oceania] anyone know where to get Oca tubers??

[Robyn Williamson]

Hi Petra

I got my NZ Yams or Oca from Bundanoon Village Nursery, 71 Penrose Road,
Bundanoon NSW 2578, phone 02 4883 6303.  I haven't had them long so haven't got
a lot but happy to share a couple with you should you continue to have trouble
finding them.  Please send a stamped self-addressed padded envelope to me at 22
Spring Road, Kellyville NSW 2155   It's time to dig them now that the foliage
has just died back.
