ORLEANS

Ipomoea batatas “Orleans” is in many ways a twin to ‘Beauregard’ – and at the same time an improvement. The smooth light rose skin and deep orange flesh is indistinguishable from Beauregard so retail customers re still drawn as before. Even the sugar content is the same (11% total sugars in a baked product) as in Beauregard, but what makes Orleans so outstanding for the growers is the regularity of the shape of the roots.

Sold in packs of 6. 

***PLEASE NOTE : THESE CAN BE PRE ORDERED NOW FOR DELIVERY FROM MID MAY. IF YOU NEED OTHER GOODS SOONER, PLEASE ORDER THOSE SEPERATELY!***

 

Cultivation advice :

 

• Type of soil is not important, but it needs to be always humid. If soil is too dry in summer, the plant stops tuberisation and the potential yield decreases.
• No fertiliser inside soil or inside the water -> if you use fertiliser, you will have big leaves but not big tubers!
• No fungicide, insecticide needed…
• 30 cm between plants
• Sweet potato like sun, hot degrees, and water.
• Planting from week 22 to harvest end of september

 

If you respect these points, you will have good yield between 1kg to 1.3kg per plant with sweet potato between 300g to 600g
