International Kidney pots
« on: March 05, 2014, 15:47 »
i have bought some seed spuds from Wilko's and i noticed something that occurred to me last year when i bought some pots in the supermarket. when i was younger, ALL Jersey Royals were kidney shaped. last year they were all shapes a lot of them round, does anyone know, if the type of potato grown there has been eased out to allow any potato grown in Jersey to be called a Royal and will it follow that seed potatos are given the same leeway?

Jersey Royals are a selected strain of I.K. and have protected status and should be kidney shaped.

International Kidney can be round or kidney shaped I think  :unsure:
