Stewart Island Potato
Stewart Island Potato has been planted 3 times by Growstuff members.
Found by Kay Baxter growing wild in a cliff face along the shore on Stewart Island. Rare, heritage, unknown whakapapa.
Preserved by Koanga Institute.
Very tasty and a big cropper.
Found by Kay Baxter growing wild in a cliff face along the shore on Stewart Island around 1990. It is an extremely beautiful variety similar in shape to Whataroa and Chatham Islands however this one has pink rather than purple colouring on the skin, and the eating qualities are different. It is more floury rather than waxy.
