Title: Looking for arracacha, maca & melloco sources
-Arracacia xanthorrhiza, Arracacha
[Sharon Gordon]-Ulluco tuberosus, Melloco.
[Sharon Gordon]Maybe Ullucus tuberosusAnd I'd ask ECHO again-Lepidum meyerii, Maca.
[Sharon Gordon]Also try the spelling Lepidum meyernii (n instead of r) or botanists think what may be available now is L. peruvianum.I'd try ECHO again, focusing on the same resources as for the Melloco.Or you might see if some grocery stores that carry less common South American Vegetables might carry the tubersand you could get several untrimmed ones, replant and collect the seeds. Jungle Jims in Ohio is one that orders in lots of unusualproduce from all over the world. Much is replantable. http://www.junglejims.com/ Harry's in Atlanta might be anothersource. Other people might have ideas for similar CA, FL, or NY grocery stores. Sometimes you can find people atthe appropriate country's embassy around DC who can tell you where they grocery shop for the items.also-"Mandarin Melon Berry"(TM)"... from the swampy Yangtze deltas on China's east coast..."
[Sharon Gordon]Edible Landscaping has it, see under names Cudrania tricuspidata, Che, Chinese Che, Chinese Mulberry, Cudrang, Mandarin Melon Berry, Silkworm ThornGetting ones that is grafted onto Osage Orange prevents thorn laden suckers. The male ones rarely set fruit. The standardstrategy is to plant and male and female together and then prune so you have 75% female, 25% male. Though maybe ELhas grafted both onto the same plant.Looks like your garden is going to have a lot of fun things in it.Sharongordonse@one.net
