Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was derived from the parent forms Vales Emerald and 1288 AF 23. It belongs to the second early maturity category and is distinguished by the formation of a large number of tubers per plant. The purpose of the variety is aimed at markets requiring uniform, small-sized tubers.

Tubers have a round or short-oval shape. Descriptions exist for white skin and cream-white flesh, as well as variants with purple skin and marbled purple-yellow flesh. The variety is not intended for long-term storage; it has a firm texture and a buttery taste with a nutty undertone.

The variety is susceptible to common scab. Data on comprehensive resistance to other diseases is limited, which is typical for specialized varieties in this segment.
