Oxsalis tuberosum, oca, is an oxalis from south america that is used as a food crop (delicious), but also produces an interesting plant. These need a longer growing season than zone 5 for a food crop, but do well in a pot or large hanging basket so that they can move inside. They do not tolerate hard freezes but minor frost is usually OK.
I have a very limited number of tubers for trade as listed:
Pink tubers (produces green leaves with reddish stems)
Yellow tubers (produces green leaves with yellowish stems)
White tubers (produces green leaves with pale green stems)
I am specifically looking for the red tubered, red stemmed, reddish foliage version, which I lost two years ago. Can anybody help?
I'd also be interested in a start of Colocasia gigantea, Giant taro, as can be seen on Logee's new catalog (just have to have one I guess but the price...)
Will consider other suggestions (especially unusual edibles), but really looking for these two. If you have available, please d-mail for further discussion even if you aren't interested in what is mentioned here - there are other options.
I also have have a number of 1 year seedlings of Lingonberry from quality named seed stock as trading material for the above.
Thanks

It there a link to this in the plantfiles? I can't seem to find it... I've been sort of collecting oxalis, and I wondered what it looked like.
