Pink Fir Apple is a potato of great character and one of the first 'salad' potatoes. It has an unrivalled flavour and is one of our favourite potatoes here at TAS. For something almost as tasty but less knobbly try Anya.

The branched tubers are ready in October and retain their special nutty taste into the new year. Take care not to damage at lifting to ensure good storage.

Award of Garden Merit. Flesh Colour - Cream. Uses - new, boil and saute.

Immediately upon arrival unpack your seed potatoes and keep them in trays in a light, airy, frost free place to sprout prior to planting. Planting - depth 10cm (4"); spacing in row - 30-40cm (12-16"); width between rows - 70-75cm (28-30").

Soil should be well-worked and rich in humus (farm-yard manure or garden compost). Earth up two to three times as the top grows, to avoid green tubers. Feed with a balanced fertiliser and always keep your potatoes watered well during dry periods to ensure a good crop.

NB: Quantities are approximate and based on 10 tubers per kilogram.
