I'd like to plant sunroot in my garden. Do you supply people its seeds or root, or could you please tell me anyone who also plant it in WA? Thanks.

How can we store recently harvested tubers from now until planting time in Nov/Dec?

I keep a few of the smaller tubers in the crisper in the bottom of the fridge for next year, I place them in a fresh vegie bag which has air holes in it.

Easy to grow. I have success growing in Adelaide in clay soil. Only need a few tubers and you will have an abundance.

I've grown sunchokes successfully in Brisbane. They came up again the following year from pieces left in the garden. The secret is to make sure the soil is fairly dry (very well drained) over winter so they don't rot. If you live in the wet tropics I would suggest growing in a large tub or mounded to keep the tubers from getting waterlogged.
