At Seed Savers Exchange we have grown this variety the past 3 years. Tubers are small and have pale yellow skin with yellow flesh and a waxy texture. Tuber shape is variable from elliptic to reniform in shape. Variety is fairly low yielding and is susceptible to early blight. Tubers have a subtle nutty like taste.
