QLD arrowroot should be easy to find it's growing in just about every second garden in the subtropics in aus. is also a weed basically everywhere..

sorry can't help other than that : p

Cheers mate. I think the one growing in most gardens is Canna indica/Canna lily, which is also edible, but the one I'm after is Canna edulis, which have bigger tubers and are bred for eating more than ornamental purposes AFAIK

yeah, plenty of canna edulis in gardens & disturbed bushland round this way.. but not sure if they're nice large tuber cultivars.. i did harvest some wild tubers a few years ago, they were a decent size & not bad eating.
