A high-yielding, carefree crop for additional winter sales.

This extra-early strain produces large, white, potato-like tubers often weighing over 1/2 lb. each. They store well and can be eaten raw or cooked. The tall, 6-8', plants with bright yellow blooms make an attractive windbreak, helping to prevent soil erosion. Flowers in July and matures over a month before common varieties. Winter hardy in severe cold. Perennial in Zones 3-8. Grown at Johnny's. Organically grown.

Jerusalem Artichoke

CULTURE: As soon as possible after seed pieces are received, cut or break to one or two eyes per piece. Plant pieces 4" deep and 12-18" apart in rows 18-36" apart. Do not allow cut seed pieces to dry out before planting. If you cannot plant them right away, store the tubers in a refrigerator or a cool place at 34°F (1.1°C). Almost any garden soil will do, even wet or dry soils. Choose a permanent location as Jerusalem Artichokes are difficult to eliminate once established.
HARVEST: Dig tubers in August to late fall as needed.
NOTE: Directly after harvest, the carbohydrates are in the form of inulin and are good for dieters and diabetics. The inulin changes gradually in storage to other starches and should then be regarded more like a potato by diabetics.
STORAGE: Can be frozen or kept refrigerated in plastic bags. Can be stored un-dug in the garden, or in the root cellar as long as tubers are kept moist to prevent shriveling. The next crop can be planted from harvested tubers or you can leave some in the ground to grow again.
One pound of seed pieces ( avg. 12 pieces) will plant 12-18'.
