No personal experience of either the plant or the company.

Chriscross gave me a couple  a while ago, so he is something of an expert.  But not seen him on board recently.

I think mine were originally from Dobies. I could offer you some at the end of the year, but all the ones I have left are now in pots in the greenhouse. They should be coming through some day soon.

Bought some from 'Edulis' at potato day.  They sell them in little pots.  Quite a number of tubers in the pot, but all of them are very small, compared to their usual size.
