This summer I planted some Jerusalem artichokes in my front yard. I didn’t
know too much about them other than that they are indigenous to this area
(the east of Canada, generally speaking), and that they have edible
tubers. Consequently, I was a bit surprised by the way the little teeny
plants that I planted kept growing, and growing, and growing. Tonight I
found
this
site, which explains that they can grow up to three meters tall. Aha.
Good to know.
