Default Have you ever grown Jerusalem Artichokes?

Anyone had experience (good or bad) with them?


I have been growing then for a number of years now. They are a member of the
sunflower family and do grow quite tall 10 feet. The biggest problem is
keeping them contained. Make sure you get all the tubers when you dig them in
the fall. Any missed pieces or small tubers will come up in the spring.

If you live in an area where there is frost in the winter, leaving them in the
ground until they get frosted will make the tubers sweeter.
