Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms short-oval shaped tubers. The plant is characterized by a determinate growth type, ceasing development after the onset of flowering.

The potato is suitable for sale immediately after harvest and also stores well during long-term storage. Field trials revealed moderate resistance of the variety to the pale potato cyst nematode (Globodera pallida).
