Sunchoke/Sunroot/Jerusalem Artichokes

[Greenie DeS]

Does anyone have a seed source for the Lofthouse Sunroots? Ideally somewhere that'll ship to Canada, though any source is better than none.

Joseph sent me clones last year. I need to dig them up and spread them around. Haven't gotten seed back yet here. Someday we will get a mild enough fall.

Oikos used to sell seed for sunchokes. That is the provenance of my other sunchokes.

Joseph has these for sale again. I got some last year. I got mine mixed in with some Oikos ones already.

I might get true seed off my Oikos sunchokes tomorrow for the first time. I'll check the mixed Oikos/Lofthouse patch too. Big freeze coming Monday night.

Clipped what there is. All from two of the five or so patches. Uncertain if the Lofthouse material contributed. Though the mixed patch is one of the two.

In the dehydrator now.

Opened them up and there are good looking seeds. Set them out to dry for the week.

Those look great!  I'm so excited for you!
