This late-season variety is the classic Idaho baking potato. It's a great russeted (has rough, brown-colored skin) baking variety that features 20 percent more protein and 58 percent more vitamin C than other varieties. It's also tolerant of scab disease and late blight.
The cultivar is resistant to the lesion-causing nematode species Pratylenchus neglectus and Pratylenchus penetrans, but is susceptible to wilt disease caused by the pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae.[3]
