Hi, I looking to grow some NZ yams or oca this year, some Im looking to get my hands on some seeds. A cost would be great and postage as I live in Tasmania. Cheers.

I live in the north of Tassie. I got mine from Allen’s garden centre in Prospect, L’ton. Had no problems growing them. Just dug mine up this morning. Hope this helps.

I saw some of those plants (NZ Yam/oca) at Salamanca Market when we visited Tasmania in January. It is worth checking.

Are the little pink yams grown like sweet potatoes which I've grown commercially ..And can the yam be cut like a sweet potato to create a new plant?

You can only try. They plant sweet potatoes here in SE QLD with slips. 50-60mm lengths of the vine when the plants are about 6-8 weeks old. They plant from one crop to start another and the cycle goes on and on.

Hi - just wondered when it is right or if it is right to plant and grow yams in Goulburn, NSW, esp in the middle of Winter (heavy frosts, freezing conditions). Thanks!

Melinda , Read the notes - it is all there. Try Temperate and Cool /Mountain climates. A BIG HINT - when to plant and when to harvest.
