Although I love Oikos Tree Crops, and highly recommend them, I grew 4 different varieties from them this year and got not a single tuber of consequence. Next to them I grew the common variety found at supermarkets and I got over 80 pounds of tubers. Variety matters!
@wendiland3 жыл бұрын
Yes, I’m finding that common variety isn’t as picky with the climate, whereas special varieties may grow better in some climate than others.

The ones I grow are a purple variety, not sure if it's Red Fuseau or another variety, but I definitely want to grow LOTS more varieties!!! We have acreage, so space isn't an issue, though thus far I've grown them in pots, to keep them from taking over the world. ;-) I do have a couple of areas, though, where I can put them in the ground and just allow them to do their thing.

My Sunchokes get full sun in Virginia. Right now (September 2023) they’re about 14 feet tall. It’s also better to plant them in loose soil….not in containers.

Most varieties are a prolific grower, I’m from the UK in Tamworth, so that’s middle England/West Midlands, Growing range around 8, Very damp and cold, during winter month and extremely dry, Zain my region, during summer months, Sweetcorn seems to do consistently well, my artichokes are in a small bed, waiting for the new season 👍

That was really interesting..realise this is a late comment..that was good advice about the shallow containers. I made the mistake of planting in massive fabric containers last year. They do grow incredibly tall, one thing I did last year is cut some of them down in early summer..it sacrificed the yellow flower tops..but to be honest they are small flowers on top off the massive stalky leafy plant…the cut off plants kept growing. I’m not as scientifically minded as you so I didn’t compare properly. But do notice they grow better in more sun ( uk sun ha ) . Also I harvested one lot in November like you, then cut the stalks down of the others and harvested them in late January. The late January ones were definitely bigger. I heard that your supposed to let them have a bit of a freeze before harvesting . I’m growing them because of diabetes..I use inulin powder..just half a teaspoon in yoghurt etc also. Sorry to be so rambling..but noticed lately in the US..people growing veg in those stackable containers..I wondered if they could grow in the bottom one?
@wendiland7 ай бұрын
I appreciate your thorough comment! 🤗🫶It’s good to know harvesting late gives you better results! I use the GreenStalk stackable containers to grow smaller things. Each tier stacks on top of another so in theory sunchokes should grow even on the lower tiers if there’s enough light. But, these plants are so large, I don’t think these containers have enough volume to allow plants to grow to their potential. Also, they grow so tall, they will shade each other if grown in such close proximity. Good luck in your health journey!
@playinglifeoneasy9226 Жыл бұрын
Are those turmerics I see?? you’ll get a much bigger harvest. If you let the plants die back completely those last few weeks the sunchokes really get big you’ll see the soil mound up and mini sunchokes poking through the top of the surface of the soil.

I had three varieties collected locally in West-central PA. One resembles the Stampede variety, white-tan skinned, very knobby under a six foot top. They spread only about 16" from the crown. They have a nice mild earthy nutty taste. The other is a red skinned smooth tuber about four inches+ long x one inch+ thick, picture small sweet potatoes. They have a more pronounced nutty flavor and less yield than the Stampede look-alikes. They spread a bit over two feet from the crown under an eight foot top. The third variety I got rid of. They grew 12 feet+ with a spread of over four feet from the crown. They had an obnoxiously strong turnipy-herbal taste with a shape and size like carrots and a white-tan skin. I wait to harvest until the tops are dead and dried, like harvesting potatoes. That's when the nutrients in the greens drain into the tubers for best size and flavor.
