The trunk is often relatively short and can measure between 8 and 18 inches in diameter, frequently developing a gnarled or slightly twisted appearance with age. Its compound leaves usually range from 4 to 8 inches in total length, bearing multiple small, smooth-edged leaflets that are each approximately 0.5 to 1 inch long. In spring, the tree produces its iconic drooping clusters of bright yellow flowers, each blossom measuring about 1 to 2 inches in length and arranged in racemes that can extend 3 to 6 inches long, creating a striking visual display that is characteristic of New Zealand landscapes. After flowering, elongated seed pods form, typically about 4 to 8 inches long and around 0.25 to 0.5 inches thick, often constricted between seeds, giving them a segmented, bead-like appearance. Overall, this species exhibits a moderate growth rate and a spreading, picturesque form, with dimensions that make it suitable for medium to large garden spaces or naturalistic plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Floridaseeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45095342604341,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/0813\/5221\/files\/54594966726_f1cf1c48a8_b.jpg?v=1774874735","url":"https:\/\/floridaseeds.net\/products\/jerusalem-artichoke-20-seeds-helianthus-tuberosus-copy","provider":"R\u0026B Floridaseeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
