The Pedigree of Yukon Gold
Since I was kindly given the job of moderator of the potato forum, I want to offer many avenues to jump start lively discussion about all things potatoey. I wrote on a previous post the need to show parental background in regards to saving true seed from potatoes (TPS). Note that Yukon Gold is almost a yellow fleshed Katahdin by descent. Enjoy!
As you look at the pedigree of Yukon Gold, notice that the famale parent is always first. The year of release is listed. The country which developed the line is listed too. The parental lines jump around a bit, but I think you can visualize the tremendous work of many people over the centuries in creating potatoes that we admire.
