| Hello Ron, Unfortunately it's much too difficult to send corms to NZ from Tassie. We would have to jump through endless hoops because of quarantine restrictions and it would end up costing heaps. I used to have contact with the previous owners of Premium NZ Saffron, who sold bulbs as well (cheaper than mine).
They sold their farm a couple of years ago and were going to start a new patch at their new location. It might be worth contacting Cheryl and Ray and ask them if they have any corms to sell. They would also be able to fill you in on local conditions etc. Cheryl's email address: cherylrault@hotmail.com If THEY can't sell you any, I'm sure that Premium NZ Saffron could. You'll find their details here:
