Anybody grown a potato called sunita?

[arpoet]

I picked us a sack of Tatties and its a variety i have never heard of. Its a white with yellow flesh called Sunita. Do you grow it?

Not a lot on the inter web, but one thing I did pick up is that it is highly susceptible to blight.

Is this a seed potato or some to eat? If it was a seed potato you might be able to get more information from the supplier. Certainly not one I've come across.

Not seed... bought a 25k sack. I cant find out anything about them. Had some for jackets at lunchtime and they were ok.

Are there varieties that are only available to commercial growers I wonder? What are they similar to?

It is possible that Sunita is trade name not variety name.

It could well be that the farmer is trialing a new variety.

Its printed along with other varieties on the sack with a tick next to the name. The garden centre where i buy them also had a sign with the variety and price on them. They must be a main crop.

Appears to be a 2014 cross breed from Holland, possibly developed by a company called HZPC. Try these links:
