True
Blue is a blue-fleshed, blue skinned variety, that is
oblong, shallow eyed, mid-sized, and heavy yielding.
It is also resistant to BRR, and can be grown successfully
under organic conditions.
The
flavour and texture for fresh market use is excellent,
and it is well liked in California. It is also superior
for the manufacture of True Blue
potato chips, and a large amount of chips have been
produced in Ohio for the North-Eastern US market.
The
potato keeps well in storage and tolerates colder storage
temperatures that result in a longer storage period.
Stored at 4 C the variety will keep until June or July.
Yields
are very good. For example, under organic conditions,
near Calgary, Alberta, Canada, with irrigation, 6,000
lbs seed produced 106,000 lbs crop in 2001.
