Hello,
I’m a newbie here. I would like to purchase/swap for Big Bertha Sunchokes. Just a bulb or two. I can’t find this variety anywhere. Please help. Thanks

I'm not sure of a source of this specific cultivar but I have had good luck on Etsy finding different sunchokes. It seems to be season specific when they have supply so do some searches every few weeks and see what you can find would be my recommendation.

Christina, I planted six Big Bertha (purchased before Oikos closed things down) three years ago. It's on my list to dig up all the rows of named cultivars and plant them in their own stands before they merge too much to figure out what's what. If you ping me in October by PM or by posting here, I'll try to set one aside for you if you'll pay for shipping. If you find another source before then, that's great too.
