20 Small Tubers Jerusalem Artichoke/Sunchoke - Individual Tubers For Planting

Description: The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), also called sunroot, sunchoke, wild sunflower, topinambur, or earth apple, is a species of sunflower native to central North America.[3][4] It is cultivated widely across the temperate zone for its tuber, which is used as a root vegetable. The flowers are yellow and produced in capitate flowerheads, which are 5?10 cm (2.0?3.9 in) in diameter, with 10-20 ray florets and 60 or more small disc florets. (resource from Wikipedia)The tubers are often elongated and uneven, typically 7.5-10 cm (3.0-3.9 in) long and 3-5 cm (1.2-2.0 in) thick, and vaguely resembling a ginger root in appearance, with a crisp and crunchy texture when raw. They vary in color from pale brown to white, red, or purple. (resource from Wikipedia)Sunchoke tubers can be planted in the garden as early as 2 to 3 weeks before the average last frost date in spring. They are best planted in soil that has warmed to 50°F (10°C). In warm-winter regions, sunchokes can be planted in winter. Sunchokes require 110 to 150 days to reach harvest.The sunchoke is a hardy perennial that grows from 5 to 10 feet tall. The plant has rough-textured leaves 4 to 8 inches (10-20cm) long and is topped with small yellow flowers 2 to 3 inches (5-7cm) across. Sunchokes will survive a hard freeze if protected by a layer of soil or mulch. Tubers rapidly spread and divide but can be controlled by root barriers.The name Jerusalem artichoke is a misnomer: the plant is not related to the artichoke, though the sunchoke?s flavor may be reminiscent of the artichoke. The plant is not from Jerusalem: the name is probably derived from the Italian name for sunflower, girasole, which means turning to the sun.Plant sunchokes in full sun. The sunchoke prefers loose, well-drained soil but will grow almost anywhere.Planting and spacing. Plant sunchoke tubers 2 to 6 inches deep, 12 to 18 inches apart. Space rows 36 inches apart.Companion plants. Corn, rhubarb, peanuts. Avoid planting sunchokes with tomatoes.
