It ranks high in all taste tests. A deep spreading root system helps provide adequate water and nutrient uptake for the large vines. Hail damage generally is minimal. Tubers have creamy white flesh and are oblong with a light russet skin. Yield potential 400 to 450 cwt. range with a high percentage of No. l's.
Germination tends to be uniform, regardless of eye location on the tuber.
Plant this cultivar 2 to 4 inches deep. Performance in alkaline soils is excellent. N applications as well as excess N may result in delayed tuberization and bulking. In addition, high levels of fertility may act to lengthen stolons within the hill creating conditions which favor the development of internal purple or pink pigmentation in the tuber. During periods of rapid growth, this cultivar may express a physiologically induced mosaic pattern in the leaves.
