Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?OUMBQ 9 May 2008 Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) This plant survived the Winter in Zone 5. The first picture was taken in 2007 and the other two in 2008. I did add some wood chips over the plant. It will be interesting to see how this plant produces in 2008. I also have six seedlings now in the garden. http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?SRLQU 23 June 2008 Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus). The heading on the pictures is wrong it should read Cynara scolymus. There is not much difference in the size of the seedlings and the one plant that over-wintered. http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?EUDSJ 20 July 2008 Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) . Two fruiting bodies are forming on the one plant that over-wintered. Other pictures showing growth of the seven plants.
