My population started by crossing wild sunroots from Kansas with a domestic sunroot.

I would love some! Thank you!

You might be able to write him and get a mixed box, but I don't know if he's into that. I got several varieties of seeds from ARS-GRIN but I think they're no longer able to ship germplasm due to budget cuts.

I'm located in Ohio, US, and was lucky to purchase from ARS-GRIN before the shutdown. I reached out to oikos and they said they had none to sell :/

I'm looking to breed sunchokes, so I want a big starting population with big deviations in genetics to measure their characteristics in my environment. Any recommendations on where I can get tubers/seeds?
