If you want to start a new patch of Jerusalem Artichokes, these can be planted from now until March, but be careful where you locate them as plants can grow up to 6ft (2m) tall. I thought my scales might not take the load, as my first autumn harvest weighed in at a massive 3.4 kg or 7.5lbs.
The Jerusalem artichoke is mainly grown for its edible tubers, which vary in size and shape. Some are potato-like, small, round and knobby, while others are long, slender and smooth (Swanton, 1994). The tubers taste like artichoke (hence the common name) and are eaten raw, or cooked in the same way as potatoes.he root system is fibrous and develops cord-like rhizomes that can reach more than 1 m in length. The apical part of the rhizome is swollen and forms a fleshy tuber. The leaves are opposite or alternate, ovate to lanceolate, toothed, pubescent on the lower surface and 3-20 cm long x 5-8 cm broad.
