Looking for Jerusalem Artichokes

If you would post your location, perhaps someone near you would be willing to oblige. Most who have *any* Jerusalem artichokes, have many to spare.

produce section, health food store. Buy them, plant them.

Curse them every year thereafter ;-(.

Ross

Why? :-)

I know that they have a tendency to take over any area which is why I planted them somewhere where I did not care if that happened. Yummy tubers, but for some reason, after three years, my patch died. :-( I'd not mine re-starting them if anyone in Texas wants to mail me some?

K.

not if you plant them where they can't spread like in a large planter or concrete tub, or, what I would do, in and area surrounded by bedrock.

I'd love some. Does anybody in/near Hilo, HI have any to spare? (happy to pay).

Maren

I don't, but then I also have 5 different patches of bamboo growing on my place. I have spread the Jerusalem Artichoke around, too. I have it growing in 4 different spots(so far).

I could probably send some to people wanting to get them started growing. Email me at snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com. All I'd need would be the shipping paid.

E-mail sent... :-) I'm more than willing to pay for the roots as well. These things are delicious.

thanks! Kat (in central Texas)

I suppose New Zealand is too far away :-). I use mine as a wind break and have they been getting a battering this summer! Get one tuber and soon you'll have a fence line's worth. :-)
