Yukon Gem - Organic

seed potatoes
Solanum tuberosum
Yellow skin, yellow flesh. A modern take on old familiar Yukon Gold, with higher yields and better PVY and scab resistances. Stocked with the latest in plant-vigor innovation, the Gem seems to be surpassing its predecessor in popularity.

In 2006, plant pathologists from the Agricultural Research Service in Aberdeen, Idaho, deemed Yukon Gem ready for the fresh market because of its determined resistance to costly infections of late blight and dry rot.

Matures about 10 days later than Yukon Gold, but worth the wait.

Yukon is from a contraction of the words in the Gwich’in phrase chųų gąįį han, which means ‘white water river’ and refers to the pale color of glacial runoff in the Yukon River. PVP. Late Blight Resistant. Indigenous Royalties.
