Variety description

10 August 2026

Plant is medium-tall to tall, semi-erect, with thin stems and an open leaf type. Tubers are large, oval or round-oval in shape, with shallow eyes. The flesh has a floury texture and is well-suited for boiling, frying, mashing, and baking. Tuber dormancy period varies from medium to long.

The variety possesses good resistance to viruses A and X, common scab, and slug damage. Resistance to late blight of foliage is assessed as moderate, while susceptibility to black spot is noted.

The variety belongs to the mid-season group (Main crop) and is historically associated with the breeding of the Scottish Plant Breeding Station. Intended for both professional cultivation and amateur gardening.
