The tubers are smooth and the red color is equivalent to Chieftan. Yield is intermediate and has an early vine maturity. We regard this as a novelty type. A light yellow-fleshed selection with smooth, round tubers that have a bright appearance. Specific gravity is low but the selection has high yield potential.
Internal qualities are excellent and the vine maturity is medium-early.
We regard this as a potential Norwis replacement. A russet tablestock selection. The tubers are long with an attractive russet appearance like Russet Norkotah. In comparison to Russet Norkotah it has a bright white flesh, a good taste and expresses PVY symptoms. Its strengths are scab resistance, low incidence of internal defects, and bruise resistance.
