Jerusalem artichoke is best grown in fertile, sandy loam or well-drained river bottoms, where the tubers are easier to dig. Generally, soils suitable for potato production are suitable for Jerusalem artichoke.
Native Americans used this plant as a food source and traded it with other tribes in other regions. The tubers persist for several years after being planted.
