Here are the temperature parameters for Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), which is a hardy tuberous crop:
🌡️ Frost-Kill Temperature: Jerusalem artichoke is frost-hardy, and its foliage can tolerate light frost, but the tops will die back at 28°F (-2°C) or lower. The tubers, however, remain viable in the ground even after freezing temperatures.
🌡️ Germination Temperature: Ideal soil temperature for sprouting is between 50-86°F (10-30°C).
🌡️ Base Temperature: The base temperature for growth is 41°F (5°C). Below this, growth significantly slows or halts.
🌡️ Optimum Temperature: The optimum temperature range for growth is 68-77°F (20-25°C). This range ensures healthy foliage and tuber development.
🌡️ Maximum Temperature: Jerusalem artichoke can tolerate temperatures up to 95°F (35°C), but excessive heat may slow growth and reduce tuber quality, especially without adequate water.
Jerusalem artichokes are adaptable and resilient, making them an excellent crop for various climates. Proper soil preparation and adequate moisture help them thrive within these temperature ranges. 🌱

Let’s Turn the Planet into a Vegetable Garden! 💚
Gardens4Good, a non-profit, began on the rooftop of a nursing home in Paris, France, where our founder volunteered to help elderly residents with Alzheimer's start their own vegetable garden. The garden brought them food, healing and joy, inspiring visitors who asked how they, too, could grow their own food. That's how we embarked on a global mission to share gardening tutorials, empowering people everywhere to turn spaces-big or small-into thriving vegetable gardens. Join us in transforming our world into a happy, abundant, sustainable food garden for all!

What’s your experience with Jerusalem artichokes? 🌱 Share your tips or questions below-we love this magical plant, our CFO is brave enough to eat them raw and unpeeled, and we know some of you have very good stories to share :) P.S. the recommend depth for planting the tubers is 4 inches or 10 cm :)

Jerusalem artichokes are resilient, but they don’t hold a candle to tomatoes in terms of yield efficiency per square foot. While you’re waiting for sunchokes to take over your garden, you could be trellising a dense canopy of indeterminate cherry tomatoes and getting weekly harvests for 5+ months. Fun fact: cherry tomatoes have been recorded yielding over 80 lbs per plant under optimal conditions. Good luck getting that from a sunchoke.

2025 veggie trends? Like broccoli got any cooler since last year LOL

[@FYtrowel489]

Wait, you grow these things on purpose? LOL, thought they were weeds

Jerusalem artichokes should NEVER be planted randomly. Have you even considered their invasive nature? Real permaculture involves understanding plant behavior within a holistic system. This would be a good opportunity to remind the community about the importance of companion plants and nitrogen-fixing guilds, this is very important for such plants as Jerusalem Artichokes.

[@brucejensen3081]

If they just grow in the same spot over and over, without anything else growing, then you get a wet season, they will all die. Those from the daisy family can seem invasive, but really self destruct in the end, and something else will take over

[@PatsyC-s4g]

Popularity contests are for people, not plants. Instead of planting trendy veggies, how about focusing on climate-adaptive species and local biodiversity? Grow better, not cooler. 🥦❌
