I'd also be keen to have some tubers for growing if you still have some available (have fond memories of eating them as a kid from my fathers large garden). Happy to pay postage. Thanks

Ask around nurseries or go on the internet and try and find garden clubs in NZ.

In answer to those seeking advice about where to buy Jerusalem artichokes in Cape Town: I bought some Jerusalem artichokes at the Vineyard Deli, Kenridge, chopped them into small pieces and planted them in a large wooden container. The plants are now (October) about 50 cm high and not flowering yet, but looking extremely green and sturdy.

I also found Jerusalem Artichoke plants at Ferndale Nurseries in Constantia, Cape Town!

I originally took free tubers left by a neighbour on the kerb. I planted five in a raised garden bed of one metre diameter. I've harvested about 5 kg of them! I've been giving them away, cooking & eating them, frozen the last batch as well. I call them fartichokes. They're a handsome plant with pretty flowers that don't appear until late summer.

can an artichoke be broken or cut into several pieces to be able to plant more?
