Dear Neighbors,
I just pulled out a large clump of Jerusalem Artichoke tubers from my garden. I have put the small tubers in green newspaper bags (1 or 2 tubers per bag) by the rose bush at the foot of my driveway. Please come help yourself. Please also take only 1 or 2 bags so others may also have some.
These plants are great natural screens. They grow about 7-10 feet tall, bloom with brilliant yellow daisy like flowers in the fall, require zero maintenance, and spread. I have not been able to produce tubers of a size worth eating. I've grown them for the flowers.
Enjoy.
