Our Feedback
Thank you very much for the Orange tree complete with flowers and baby oranges. You truly are a Victorian nursery I used to pack all the trees I sent out by rail using straw bundles similar to yours. Actually we used long straw and no outer polythene.We also used twine macramed on the outside to hold the bundle together. There is nothing wrong with your packing. It remided me of the old days. I am 78. Now I have to find a suitable container whivh no doubt will be expensive. Versailles sell them and a pottery in the south of France makes the other tradional type. I was a bit surprised when I visited Kew Gardens, that they did not have one single orange tree in their orangerie. Lovely web site and lovely young orange tree in perfect order.

A high yielding, tried and tested, variety which when left in the ground longer will crop even more heavily and has a lovely flavour.

Produces an oval, white -kinned potato that has a waxy flesh but a creamy texture and holds its shape well. Great for boiling, salad, new potatoes or making chips. Has good storing ability.

Best grown as a First Early potato but can also be grown as a Second Early or even as a Maincrop, this variety tends to take slightly longer to grow than others and increases yield if you leave a little longer.

Bred by Dr Jack Dunnet MBE in 1968 and recognised to have good slug resistance!

First Early.
Good disease resistance.
Prefers a full sun position.
Prefers a free draining soil.
Plant February-March (depending on seasons).
Harvest May-July (depending on seasons).
Chit tubers by placing 'eye' face up in egg boxes or shallow trays and standing in a warm light location.
Once small green shoots (or chits) appear move to a cooler location for a few weeks before planting out.
Best planted out February - March. Later plantings will be fine but yield may be smaller.
Dig trenches approximately 5" (12 cm) deep and 2' 6" (75 cm) apart.
Press tubers into the base of the trench 12" (30 cm) apart with chits facing up and cover with soil.
Water in and keep the crop well watered in dry spells.
When the haulm (top growth of the plants) reaches 8" (20 cm) earth up around the plants leaving just the top 4" (10 cm) showing - repeat again later if required.
Potatoes should be ready for harvest approximately 10 weeks after planting.
