Can anyone help me to buy Yacon plants to grow at home in Western Australia. I am happy to buy cuttings or tubers or plants. I have posted wanted ads on gumtree also. No luck. No nursery I have called can help me. Does anyone in WA have any for sale ?

Apparently you can buy them from Waldecks nursery's.

Hi Kylie, I came across some plants at Waldecks in Stirling today. They are selling for $50 each, but I figure I should be able to propagate them next year.

Hello Natalia. My name is Kylie Minchin. You posted me a msg in regards to Yacon. I can't get my hands on any here in Western Australia. The nurseries over East have it but won't ship to me in WA because of quarantine. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could get some. I did msg you through FB last week. Not sure if you received it Kind regards Kylie

Thank you for your reply Natalia in regards to Yacon. I'm overseas at present. Back in WA on 8th September. I will contact you on FB When I return. Kind regards Kylie Minchin
