We grew these as a screen against a fence and in our soil, a sandy acid loam, they grew about 8 to 10 feet tall.
The variety is FUSEAU.
We eat a few but not nearly so many as being produced.
I have left them in the ground so will lift when not frozen.
Would be happy to swap for what have you, just let me know and I will say if interested. I tend to grow veg in a large polytunnel and also any flower seeds may be of interest.
I am not sure if they will be expensive to post but will give it a go.
Thanks

The postage won't be too bad if you send out thumb sized tubers... they grow just as well from small pieces.
I have not got control of the plot where mine are, since I resigned, so could I scab half a dozen (fits in an egg box for easy packing)... What would you like in return?

Hi there, please could I try some if it's not too late. My soil is medium to heavy, takes a while to warm up too, will it be suitable?  I have quite a few seeds to many to mention. Just let me know what you need. Twirlie :)
