History

...the best strain of Cherokee Purple I've tried yet, excellent yield, size, deep color, super flavor, large potato leaves, very sweet taste, developed by me from a potato leaf plant in 1995.
  • Jere Gettle introduced it to SSE in the late 1990s.
  • There is another potato-leaved version of Cherokee Purple, called Spudakee which appeared around the same time and has been propagated and privately distributed since by Bill Malin of Hillsboro, NM. It is not clear whether Spudakee and Cherokee Purple, Potato Leaf are the same or not. Both Spudakee and Gettle's version should be grown sidy-by-side and compared with regular-leaved Cherokee Purple grown at the same time to see if there really are any differences.
