RED DUKE OF YORK

Red Duke of York are a delicious red first early potato. A heritage variety that also holds an RHS AGM. Conventional untreated seed.  

• Red Duke of York is a fast growing potato that produces large, oval, red-skinned tubers with moist yellow flesh of superb flavour.
• 12 weeks from planting to harvest.

   Chitting is important,

• Height and spread: 60cm.
• The red skin, which retains its colour during cooking, makes it look very attractive.
• The potatoes are regularly oval shaped and if left in the ground to fully mature they can get quite large.
• The eyes are shallow and this makes for easy peeling.
• This variety was introduced to the UK in 1942 and was grown extensively by amateur gardeners towards the end of World War II and after during the very austere post war period
