Celery root/heart - does anyone else miss it?

The celery root was always the most delicious part of this vegetable. Sadly, celery nowadays has this part removed. I have a vague recollection of celery hearts in tins, but they are no longer available. Is it possible to buy celery with the root intact anywhere?

I think you can still buy celery hearts in delis and speciality shops.
Celery attached to root maybe at farm shops?

Yes, I loved tinned celery hearts. You can buy tinned palm hearts but they are not the same at all.

I had to google because I didn't know those terms. I buy celeriac, which I've only discovered is celery root today, regularly from Sainsbury's or M&S. When I can I buy whole top celery as opposed to separate stalks because I love the very centre which I now know is called the heart. Every day's a school day on Gransnet 😀 I've never ever seen celery attached to the root, except on the google images I've just pulled up.
