Growing Yacon, also Sunroot

Hi I live on Pirongia in the Waikato and am wanting to grow some yacon. Does anyone have any crowns to share or sell. Because we are on the side of a mountain we don't get frosts so hopefully it will grow well. Thanks.

Hi Heather, Did you get any yakon when you inquired? I live in the village and have just been given a plant, we could share.
