Problem with Solanum tuberosum "Grimpantii"

<< < (2/2)

Hans J:
Sorry ...but I'm not a botanist :)
Like you I'm also not sure that it is a real S.tuberosum  ....maybe another species ?

My hope was that here are people who knows this plant ...

Vinny 123:
The leaves on the link look perfectly good for potato. Both the tubers and leaves have very characteristic smells if rubbed.

It would make no sense for any plant to produce tubers that did nothing, did not produce a new plant - it would be an evolutionary dead-end, albeit that the plant should also produce seed.

So far as S. t. seed goes - it is illegal to sell the seed in the UK in most circumstances, which is linked to the UK being a major world supplier of seed potatoes and also producer of new cultivars.

Another possibility - what temperature were the tubers stored at over-winter? Maybe they need a cool rest? 6-8 weeks in the salad drawer of the fridge if they were warm?
