Sunchoke aka Jerusalem Artichoke Tubers x5
Jerusalem Artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) produce edible tubers that taste like a cross between a potato and apple. Tubers can be dug as needed during fall/winter months for optimum sweetness. We like them in a creamy soup for cold days, or as a savory roasted vegetable.5 tubers will come in a mildly damp soil mix with at least 3 “eyes” per tuber and may have started to sprout. Depending on time of year, may send plants. Plant soon after receipt for supreme results. They can go directly in the ground, or in a pot if the ground is too frozen and perform best at a planting depth of 2-4”. They are really quite tough, and have been subjected to the harshest conditions I could throw at them without complaint. Sunchokes can become invasive, so only plant where you aren’t worried about them staying. This type gets about 5’ tall, and bloom late summer until the first frost with showy sunflower like blooms. They make a lovely flower arrangement.Always organically grown. Happy to bundle!
