Thank you! I will try a search for that variety. I appreciate the tip!

Hello friends, I'm growing on a small plot of land in Northern Colorado. It's a mixed planting scene, but with a specialization on two weird perennial crop varieties: helianthus tuberosus aka sunchokes or Jerusalem artichokes (16 named varieties this year!) and perennial onions.

So far I have catawissa white and red moritz. I know that somewhere out there is a variety called Fleener's topset onion. Anyone grow that variety? I'd be happy to buy some from you or trade for a variety that I have!

(Meanwhile, if you don't have any, but would like to grow catawissa white or red moritz, or sunchokes, I have them posted online. Send me a message for more info!)
Hi! I raise and sell about nine varieties of sunchokes including all the ones you've named here. I don't think you have any red fusueau among the ones you've photographed. The link on norton naturals looks like the red fuseau I know and love, although this year some of mine grew in pale! So weird. But such a truly lovely variety. Yes, the second photo -- the one from Ireland is also red fuseau. Not Aurora Rubin. I know this is just two tubers, but here's Aurora Rubin.

The Pink Crispy (photo 4) is accurate, at least it looks just like the pink crispy variety I raise. They are long, sometimes VERY long and great -- smooth, tasty, hardy, pretty. Wonderful.

I think the first one you have might be beaver valley purple. Not 100% sure on that, but it's definitely not Red Fuseau.
The second photo looks identical to another wonderful variety I grow called Red Rover. Those are so productive and such cute little jewels!
The third one I'm not sure, but I wish I had it. It looks nothing like the Pink Crispy that I have.

Let me know if you want more named varieties or want to swap!
