OCA | Aka New Zealand Yam (OXALIS TUBEROSA)

*Rare plant & very limited stock*

1 Oca (red) plant in a 9cm pot.

Perennial Edible Tuber| 30-40cm height & spread | Full sun | Beautiful Foliage

Note from Huw: This was the first unusual perennial vegetable I grew, and have loved it ever since! Absolutely fantastic roasted!?

Oca is a joyful addition to any edible garden?its shamrock-like foliage and vibrant tubers bring charm and nutrition in equal measure. Originally from the Andes, it?s well-suited to the UK climate, especially in wetter western regions.

Harvested after the first frosts trigger tuber growth, Oca produces knobbly, jewel-toned roots with a tangy, lemony flavour?delicious roasted, fried or added raw to salads. Give it a long season, good light, and don?t rush the harvest?your patience will be rewarded. Save a few Oca tubers back to plant next year.

    Love for the plants and passion for growing shines in abundance from the plants I have received. Delivered well packed and in great condition. Now I just need to read up on how to plant these properly in Huw’s book to do them justice and hopefully I’ll have little permaculture garden of my own for years to come. Great job Huw & everyone at Dyfi for inspiration and excellent YouTube chanel too

FAQs

We hope our FAQ’s help, but if you need any further information please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

We can only send orders to other parts of mainland GB due to strict regulations for the sending of plant materials and sadly we do not have the capacity to fill in phytosanitary certificates.

As we are a small business we currently have one packing day a week, and so expect your delivery within 2 weeks from ordering your plants.

At this moment in time we are not open for visits to the nursery, however if you come on a volunteer day or in-person course with Huw or Sam at Dan Yr Onnen you can of course then see the nursery and purchase plants in person.

Because working with plants can be an unpredictable business, for simplicity we do not offer pre-orders on all products however we may occasuinally open certain orders for pre orders and these will be clearly marked. The best time to know that we have restocked is to join our mailing list followed by looking out for updates on our Instagram.

We have decided to focus on growing plants 100% naturally without the limitations of going with organic certification. No artificial pesticides, fungicides, or anyother-icides are used on site.
