Growing Jerusalem Artichokes, also Sunchoke

View the Jerusalem Artichokes page

There's a yellow flowering bush that looks like Jerusalem Artichoke that grows wild around northern rivers- Uki NSW Australia that seems similar but flower looks a bit bigger & grows quite tall & I think the leaves are wider with a different shape, not ovste like the Sunchoke. Does anyone know if these plants that can run rampant are from the same family as the Jerusalem Artichoke?

Probably Tithonia Diversifolia or "mexican sunflower"
