    Imperial star FArtichoke question

    I have been growing some fartichokes from seed and they appear to be fruiting - they have a little bud right in the centre of the plant - is this right? I thought chokes were supposed to throw up stalks with fruit on them? Has anyone grown these before? What should they look like?

    thanks.

    Errmmm ... Imperial Star is a Globe artichoke, isn't it? Its the flower buds that you "eat".

    Now, Jerusalem Artichokes, which have tubers underground that you harvest in the Winter, are the FArtichokes ...

      googled it and this was the response.

      Fartichokes are definitely the Jerusalem ones...i grew them myself last year.
