I'm not a big fan of the stuff and I'm trying to eradicate it on my place.
I see no browsing of it and it colonizes and chokes out anything along edge areas that have light shade. It also spreads from the edge and out into plots. It grows in those areas that are good raspberry habitat...I'd rather have raspberries.

I've heard it's pretty good stuff for your home garden. The tubers can be left in the ground until you want to harvest, like carrots. I haven't ever heard of getting browse on them.

I used to pickle them and they were great. Planted some in a food plot and I think the deer stood over them waiting for them to grow.

Any new experiences with Jerusalem artichokes?

I like them as a garden plant. I'm thinking about using some of the extras to establish screening and perennial food for deer. Anyone have any new experiences since this thread was started?
