Oregon Exotics (if they're still retail. Let me know.), Sunny Lands Seeds, Box 385, Paradox (that's for sure), Colorado 81429 970-859-7248 are the two listed in Cornucopia Two (which you should get a copy of, Larry. We still sell it. $45 + 10% shipping).Looking for arracacha, maca & melloco sources Hello All,.. I am looking for sources of:-Arracacia xanthorrhiza, Arracacha
I'd check with the folks at Occidental Arts and Ecology Center. I think they've been growing it for several years. It's related to Malabar Spinach.-Ulluco tuberosus, Melloco.
I've corrected the spelling above to correspond to the Latin names in Lost Crops of the Incas and Cornucopia-Lepidium meyenii, Maca.

That stuff's reputed to be an aphrodisiac. If its that quality you seek, look into epimedium sagittatum, or horny goat weed. Easy to grow in fairly deep shade....and it works ;-) .
I got mine from Edible Landscaping, PO Box 77, Afton Va. 22920, 1-800-524-4156 He's got several large specimens there that are just gorgeous and thriving. He grafts cuttings onto seedlings and he has a lot.also -"Mandarin Melon Berry"(TM)"... from the swampy Yangtze deltas on China's east coast..."
