Stampede variety I believe. Knobby and brown, produce abundantly. Looking for smooth-skinned varieties, especially reds. I also have a lot of wants in my trade list and I am open to all offers, being a curious gardener! Thanks, Ellie

vlron, i have thornless cacti pad or i can get a reg.cacti for your sunchoke tubers. let me know, molly

Thank you! They originate in China, however it seems they are also used in French among other cuisines. They were just harvested in my zone here and are for sale at just one farm- I really lucked into finding them! BTW I had some roasted with butter and garlic wrapped in tinfoil tonight over the campfire and they were GREAT. The crunch dissapears and they aren't incredibly flavorful, but there is something about them I enjoy and I'm glad I found them...

I think I saw this tuber at Chinatown before. Perhaps when visiting that place you could buy the tubers and plant it.
