Popular Post DubleA Posted March 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2020 Greetings all. My wife and I are wanting to grow artichokes here in Thailand. Is there a variety or is are the able to grow in this climate? We have looked in the local markets for them but have not been able to find any. Thanks for any information and we hope all of you have a good day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolkandchance Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 A bit like Marmite. I hate them. I have never seen them here nor my Thai partner. (Issan). Might be worth a Google or a visit to a garden centre. Back in Italy they are grown in abundance. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitman Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 If you can grow them the best is to sell them to a 5* hotel with a western master chef....I'm pretty sure that if the price is high enough the thai/chinese will love to go there and eat them. Yes it has to be very expensive and exclusive so they can brag about having eaten them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubleA Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 The question is if artichokes can be grown in Thailand. Thank you everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djayz Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Based on these 2 articles, I assume it's possible to grow them here, but, both articles suggest that in really hot climates, the quality of the edible part drops. https://agrilifeextension.tamu.edu/library/gardening/artichokes/ https://www.thespruce.com/tips-for-growing-artichokes-1403455 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I used to cultivate artichokes from seed in Switzerland, difficult getting them through the winter. They stopped being of any use when temperatures went above 25°C or so. Edited April 3, 2020 by cooked "from seed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
