Sweet Potato Slip - Tainung #64 (1 slip)
We first received this cultivar from Cody Cove Farm. This is what they have to say about the variety.
"Tainung #64 is a sweet potato that was developed by a Taiwanese breeding program many decades ago. This variety was the best producer in our 2 year sweet potato trial that included around 35 varieties. Tainung #64 outproduced everything in the trial, surpassing even the second best variety by a wide margin. We have had very consistent results from this variety for several years in a diversity of growing conditions. Friends we have shared this variety with are beginning to report back with similarly positive results in different parts of the state. Plants are very vigorous and consistently produce large yields of roots which are primarily clustered directly under the main stem. The roots have light orange flesh and are of good eating quality, roughly similar to a grocery store style sweet potato. Until someone shows us something better, we think this is as good as it gets for sweet potato growing! Roots are sometimes very early, and sometimes take around 120 days. This may be related to daylength."
