If you are looking to buy please remember that unusual Jerusalem artichokes cultivars may only be available as tubers for a very short period during late Autumn or early Winter. Very few are available as growing plants, in Spring. The RHS Plant Finder or Find a plant (online) lists very few cultivars and even fewer suppliers. You will need to search online and check that the supplier is in the UK and not the EU , Canada or the USA. And then check again a few weeks later. Nurseries will probably tell you when to enquire again after they have lifted their tubers.

If you want an un-named, white-skinned, knobbly type of tuber or the cultivar 'Fuseau' (not knobbly, white-skinned)) then you may be able to find a source locally. Maybe in an adventurous greengrocer, if you are lucky enough not to have lost them to Supermarkets.

My tubers/plants came from:

Antonio Fernandez-Jardon Sanchez
Tony is in Spain but he managed to supply me with tubers legally through Etsy trading as Huertinadetoni.

(He appeared to be sending from Calle Monte Cerrau N5 4A, 33006 Oviedo, Asturias, Spain, but I don't read Spanish so I can't say this is correct.)

If you know of any other cultivars available to the UK please let me know as these are all I have been able to find up to now. There are other named cultivars listed in the Republic of Ireland, Canada, Republic of South Africa and the United States of America but all sources I have found only distribute the their own country. If you grow a named cultivar I am willing to swap for any in my collection.
