There’s hope for us yet.

FAQ:

I live in Brisbane and really love oca, will it grow for me?

Answer:

In order to successfully grow it, you need to ‘reverse’ the season. It stores remarkably well in a plastic bag in the crisper of the fridge. Buy it and store it until March. Winter temperatures in frost-free areas of Queensland are ideal to grow oca. The summer is simply too hot, humid and wet. Once you successfully grow your crop, save some of it in the fridge every year for autumn planting. It grows well in styrofoam boxes and planter bags, as well.

Okkers in horsetraylier.

What’s wrong with growing the daisy yam? It is native and easy to grow.
