This year I am going to try growing an early variety called Kimberley. As I have mentioned in previous post that I
typically grow Stupice as my early variety- this year I will switch it up. I like the fact that it is a variety that is
hardy in Canada, which comforts me knowing that it should do just fine in my
garden here in NY.
Kimberley is an indeterminate potato leaf that produce small
1-2 oz red rounded fruit. The flavor has
been described to me as a very strong flavor- sweet and juicy. Days to maturity are between 50-55 days.
Kimberly was developed by John de Rocque of Kimberley, BC,
Canada. The correct spelling should be
Kimberley and not Kimberly. As Tatiana notes on her website, that too many seed sources have adopted the name
Kimberly. http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/wiki/Kimberley
There has been talk that Kimberley is a cross between
Siberia and Tiny Tim; however this has left doubt with many growers due to the unlikeness
that 2 reg. leaf and dwarf varieties will produce an indeterminate potato leaf.
