Late Maincrop

• Ideal for : Boiling

Description

This is the oldest culinary British variety still known producing lots and lots of round, purple skinned with white flashes, deep eyed tubers. A real 'nutty' taste, used in the original Lancashire Hotpot. Larger tubers can be baked or roasted, or boiled. A parent of Kerrs.

Clinically produced minitubers with maximum plant health protection. 100% Free of all potato pathogens.

Minituber production commences with laboratory in-vitro micropropagation of the initial microplants grown under stringent quality assurance controls. Nodal cuttings are taken from the microplants rooted in sterile nutrient jelly, are moved to a screened compost based or hydroponic growing facility.

This new technology provides secure long term storage of heritage varieties and allowing rapid introduction of varieties, old and new. This is important at a time when many field grown seed varieties worldwide are under increasing pest and disease pressures.
