Hi Ron, I am based in KZN but happy to pay freight or postage to get them to KZN. Can I please order from you and how much will you charge? Many thanks in advance.

Its been 50 years since I grew Jerusalem Artichokes. But supermarkets and nurseries in Perth (Western Australia) look at me stupid when I ask about them Eastern States outlets are prohibited in sending them to WA. Is there anyone in the Perth Metro area that has these? I would like to beg, borrow, buy or steal at least one tuber to get me going again. In the past I grew them in the UK, they grew like weeds and can be hard to get rid of if not controlled. They grow just about anywere. A case of try them. If they grow, good, if not, bad.

Go to Swansea market on Swansea street Victoria Park. It's a left off Albany highway into Oats street then first right, if you're coming from the north. Anyway they sell Jerusalem Artichokes for food, don't know if they will sprout, but it may be worth a look if you're in the area.

Can they be grown in large pots? I know they grow well here in this climate (Hobart), in the ground at least.

Was wondering where I would be able to find the artichoke tubers in the Toowoomba area of Queensland?We are about 35 kms NW of Toowoomba and I do know they grow well in our black soil. I love them and have heard they are great for diabetes which I have.

Have you tried looking for them at your local Woolworths/Coles? That's where I found the tubers I grew last year. Good luck!
