Seed Potato 'Pink Fir Apple'

Versatile in the kitchen

• Hardy up and down the country
• Skin rich in antioxidants

First introduced in 1850, ‘Pink Fir Apple’ has withstood the tests of time and remains a firm, traditional favourite amongst growers. With pink skin and waxy yellow centres, this variety produces a rich flavour to savour. ‘Pink Fir Apple’ is a reliable maincrop potato that is popular among home growers for its hardy nature, being suitable to grow in sheltered or exposed plots. This variety is ideal for steaming or boiling salads, roasting or for making gourmet-style pub chips.

All our seed potatoes are graded to a size 35mm x 35mm to 55mm x 55mm. This means that the smallest seed potatoes in the sample will not fall through an 35mm square. This does mean there will be various sizes within the pack. More modern varieties are more equal in size but as we want to offer the more unusual and Heritage varieties, these are more variable but we will always supply the weight stated. Any harvest will depend on individual growing conditions but generally smaller potatoes will produce smaller crops and larger potatoes will produce larger crops. But for example 1kg of seed potatoes will produce the same overall harvest whether the seed potatoes are small or large.
