| This cultivar has very large, attractive vines, But the yield was very low under my conditions. The few potatoes grew were perfectly shaped and a large baking size, but they did not average 1 potato per hill. Our growing conditions were extremely bad this year, but Carver grown grown side by side with Hernandez gave four times the yield. |
