I thought the OP was talking about a regular globe artichoke, Rusty didn't. shrug That's why I supplied pictures.

(Globe artichokes are like a big thistle, Jerusalem are in the sunflower family) "Girasole" being the probable source of the misname "Jerusalem". Why "artichoke", though, I don't know...Ah: the dictionary says they "somewhat resemble the globe artichoke in flavour". I'll accept the derivation, but deny the resemblance. -- Mike. |

They don't flower well in this country, and they'll probably be frosted before hey try to set seed. There's so much leaf mass compared with the flower that it won't affect tuber formation noticeably. (Or, to put it another way, given their digestive properties,, you probably won't feel you have a shortage of them).
