Such odd ball plants these Oca/New Zealand Yams. I planted these straight into the ground from cuttings after equinox in late March.

When you do it this way you can plant them very densely! #strangeplants #oxalistuberosa #lostcropsoftheincas #reallydelicious #plantsfromcuttings #pinktuber #pinkplant #novelcrops #novelcropsproject #panc #plantsofperu #plantpropagation #stemtuber #ancientcrop
