The variety has a long history of cultivation in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. It is an old local variety that is not the result of modern breeding; it is included in registers as a conservation variety.
The tubers have red-violet skin and a round or oval shape with deep-set eyes. The flesh is yellow, sometimes with red spots. Precise data on maturity group and disease resistance are absent in reference books, as the variety is adapted to traditional farming.
The name Freker is found in databases as a synonym alongside the names Asklanda Röd, Farbror Frans, Rödpäror, Visingsö Röd, which indicates the wide distribution of the variety in the Scandinavian region.
