Is anyone aware of a source of mauka seed? It looks interesting and I suspect that it would do well here, but it appears to be practically impossible to obtain.

I don't think manuka and mauka are the same...
And I have a similar question: If anyone has a source for Europe, please let me know...

Yep. Sorry - shouldn't rely on imprecise names, particularly with uncommon plants. Mirabilis expansa, an Andean root & stem vegetable, is what I am looking for.

It looks like they don't even have anything in GRIN. There is this blog from someone in Belgium I think, but it doesn't say where they got seed. Bram should probably contact them to see about snagging some cuttings |

Funny. I typed "mauka" into the search box here and got nothing. I just did it again figuring that I mistyped and still got nothing. Thanks for turning up that thread - lots of interesting information there. |
