I bought a Kumquat tree from you and it arrived within a few days and was in excellent condition. The packing around it ensured it wasn't damaged.
Thankyou

Do not plant out (without protection) until fear of frost has passed.
Supplied as a pot grown plant grown in a 7cm pot.
Available from APPROXIMATELY mid MayThis delicious orange variety of sweet potato is well worth growing, but given the UK climate is always best grown under protection or in a particularly sheltered and sunny spot. High yielding variety that stores well, the sweet potatoes tend to be long and of a good size with a reddish purple skin and deep orange flesh and full of Vitamin C.
Orginates from the Louisiana State University in 1987 by Larry Rolston. Apparently it saved the Louisiana sweet potato market when it was developed because of it' high yield and disease resistance, making it a very popular variety!
In order to get the maximum yield it is suggested to plant them into the open ground, but we have successfully grown these here at the nursery in large tubs so that they can be kept indoors and in a warmer environment.
Delicious boiled, mashed, roasted or as chips.
