How do I harvest these? Mine throw out stems, leaves and beautiful

the house, replanted some in better areas. Mind you these grow to over
10 feet!


Not sure what sunchokes are. Do you eat them?

Yes.

Any drawbacks to planting them?

They can be terribly invasive. J.R. in MI suggested that every last tuber
and root be removed. From what I hear, that's very difficult, as they can go
6 to 8 feet down. You only need to plant them once to have them for life.
