Since tubers will not be on the horizon, is there a possibility of yacon seed being available?  Will there be any source of the cultivariable arracacha in the future?  Thanks

I will not have yacon propagules again until I have a new place to grow them, unfortunately.  Since my soil is contaminated with powdery scab, there is no way to sell anything that has soil contact without a serious risk of passing it on.  I do plan to offer more yacon seed and perhaps even focus on that instead of clones, but I'm still working that out.  Probably next year for seeds.

I discovered that all of the arracacha was carrying a quarantine disease and I had no luck culturing it, so I had to abandon it, unfortunately.  Since I don't know of a source of clean plants, I am done with arracacha indefinitely.  It's a real bummer, but there are hassles that I just don't want in my life.
