One thought is Jerusalem artichokes another is himalayam balsam

Definitely not Himalayan balsam. Other than that I can’t help. Sorry

Looks like JA's to me. Maybe they need to dig deeper to find the artichokes?

At what stage in their development do the JA tubers form?

The saying goes "Once you have JA's, you will always have them"

99% sure they're JAs, look super similar to mine.

I will impart this knowledge on to the site. I only grew JAs once many years ago, absolutely loved them but couldn't cope with the tummy ache they gave me
