Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Polish C (Rob Gee) - ripe fruit. 2009-09-05.

B.C KO T

indet., vigorous potato leaf plants, medium to high yield of large slightly ribbed pink beefsteaks with yellow shoulders, 12-23 oz, excellent flavor. I grew this variety from two different seed sources, and they appeared to be identical.

2009 growouts

1 of the seedlings from Robert Gee's seed appears to be a cross as it had regular foliage.

Year grown: 2009

Location: Zone 7b, PNW, Anmore, BC, Canada (760 ft above sea level)
