Stampede
A tier
Stampede is an early, productive North American sunchoke known for large yields of knobby white tubers and vigorous tall plants—more garden workhorse than refined French fuseau. Flavour is full and earthy-nutty; size impresses in harvest crates. Spreads aggressively if uncontrolled. Roast knobby pieces after thorough scrubbing; purée hides irregular shapes. Good for bulk winter starch. Contain beds—Stampede earns its name in the garden.
