SEED POTATOES - GEMSTAR RUSSET ORGANIC

The GemStar Russet is a high‑performance russet‑skinned seed potato variety bred for home gardeners and small‑scale growers alike. This variety delivers large oblong tubers with attractive brown skin and white, fluffy flesh—ideal for baking, frying and all‑round use. It’s noted for high yields, excellent processing quality, and very good resistance to common scab and powdery scab. GemStar Russet produces robust plants bearing long, russet–brown tubers with white flesh and a starchy, fluffy texture. It’s a medium‑to‑late season variety with excellent fry colour, firm dry matter and suitability for baking, roasting or mashing. Home gardeners will appreciate the strong tuber appearance and extended storage potential.
