The hybrid plant has survived the winter wonderfully. It now has several new stems rising for the sky.

The cluster of stalks is a couple feet tall. I succeeded in protecting the plants from small mammals early in spring and now have a cylinder cage set around them to keep the deer from eating them. I'm hoping I'll get a nice batch of seeds this year, so I can begin screening for interesting F2s next year.

 My sunflower x sunchoke hybrid has survived another year. It puts out a few pretty pathetic tubers, but flowers nicely. The extra-large plant and flower of the first season has not reoccurred. I'm thinking there was some chromosomal loss/rearrangement, so that the tissues which perennialized were biologically different from the main part of the plant. I guess I have to regenerate the cross and try again. |

I want to plant sunflowers and I already have a red sunchoke in the garden, how far should I isolate?

I want to plant sunflowers and I already have a red sunchoke in the garden, how far should I isolate? Sunflowers generally bloom during the summer. Sunroots bloom in late fall. They are unlikely to be flowering at the same time. If they are growing side by side and flowering at the same time, only the sunroot is susceptible to cross pollination. So if you are saving seeds only from the sunflowers, then no isolation is required. |

I m only person who is interasted in, but I have few questions ...
Would be better to breeding (only) between h. tuberosus varieties select good charakteristic?
Whether is it too dificult to select many charateristic such as early blooming, big tubers, big seed together?
Would it be bad idea to make octaploid in laboratory hexaploid from h. tuberosus and diploid from h. annus?
Exist nowdays some cultivars of h. tub. with early blooming, (red bloom), big smoot (red) tubers (like carrot)?
Can you give me some tip where I could buy seed of h. tuber.? I m from Europe (Slovak)
Thank
