I stumbled across someone talking about crosnes (Chinese artichoke) and was intrigued. I looked about and Charsaw was the first I found that actually had plants for sale. They came pruned which is a necessity for good tuber production, and they were entering dormancy. All of them had like a dozen tubers I could see without breaking up the roots. High quality plants and I’m very excited for next year.
