Hi Sharon. I just dug up some yacon today, so have tubers ready to propagate and plenty more in the ground. My patch is near William Bay, 15km west of Denmark. I don't get to Albany much, but do have a list building up so may be in a few weeks... Let me know. Dwayne 04 2882 0660

I would be very interested in a chat or even a visit to learn about yacon growing. I live about an hour South East of Bunbury. Regard Kevin
