The Kestrel is a delightful addition to any gardener's stock, especially during the spring season, when UK's weather is just turning mild enough for planting. Jamieson Brothers' Kestrel, boasting an impressive weight of 2kg and containing approximately 20-25 tubers (tuber is a vegetable root produced by some plants, often swollen and sweet, and used as a food), offers a second cropping opportunity, making it a smart choice for seasoned and aspiring growers alike.
Each tuber is specifically designed to produce ample quantities of potatoes, typically around 200 large, plump, and full-flavored spuds, ideal for roasting, boiling, or even baking into delightful potato bakes. This versatile potato variety thrives in various soil types, making it a suitable option for sandy loam, light clay, or even heavy clay, which can significantly reduce your planting time by around 4-6 weeks compared to other winter-grown varieties.
The Kestrel's unique attributes, including its early maturity, resistance to small scab and late blight, and exceptional weather tolerance, ensures a bountiful harvest, even in the UK's unpredictable climate. Jamieson Brothers' reputation for delivering quality plants, first-class customer service, and their unwavering commitment to sustainability complement the remarkable growth potential of the Kestrel, making it an all-season, sustainable, and long-lasting choice for your garden.
Best fit for gardeners looking to extend their potato harvest into the warm summer months.
