Potato Varieties from the Andes Mountain region.

Indyartist · April 24, 2011

Here is a small album of photos of potato varieties from the Andes Mountain region. I'm going to Grow Tom Wagners "Suytu Vilquina" variety from TPS and his variety is described as :
Suytu Vilquina: One of the 4,235 reasons to save some old varieties of potatoes from the Andes. PI 642184. Solanum tuberosum L. Landrace. CIP 702244; SUYTU VILQUINA; Q 44476. Collected 08/24/2005 in Ayacucho, Peru. Latitude 13° 1′ 12″ S. Longitude 73° 58′ 48″ W. Elevation 3600 m. P. La Mar. Hacienda Paria (San Miguel). Primitive cultivar. Tuber moth resistance. Pink tubers should show up again. This one has good berry production and should be grown to prove you are a hero.
Here are the pictures:

Some neat looking spuds there especially that Yana Pina

Sweet! I love this kind of stuff, obscure land-race food varieties. Very nice.

Thanks, Indy for linking to the http://www.flickr.com/photos/prithew...451565/detail/

I dug into the link to show the names with each potato variety. I don't have any of those via the Potato Introduction Station but I think one of those could be accessed...Mantequilla....but that is not the prettiest one. I am going to try to get it anyway.

As far as Puka Piña .... it is a S. x chaucha type as in Yana Piña. Pineapple types. . Those are really hard to find here in the states...but I could get a related line.... PAQOCHA O MURU URENA and maybe two others but they won't have those deep eyes. Maybe I could make some crosses to get similar shapes as Puka Piña or Yana Piña.

I may as well offer this link for further illustration.....

The following unusual potatoes from Peru have been grown out to have small tubers and I will plant them in the ground soon. When I get some increases of tubers...maybe I will take some pictures and or share them next year in my samplers.

PI 225667 (phureja)
CHAUCHA AMARILLA LARGA

PI 225673 (phureja)
CHAUCHA OCA

PI 225677 (phureja)
CHAUCHA CURILLA

PI 225689
COLORADA LEGITIMA

PI 225694 (phureja)
CRIOLLA ROSADA

PI 225705 (phureja)
ROSALENA

PI 234007 (stenotomum)
CANDELARO

So many of these really interesting colors and shapes of potatoes from S. America are not truly adapted here, but that doesn't stop me from trying out more and more TPS from them and crosses in order to get that adaptation.

Fantastic Tom , I'm glad you found it interesting. My being on vacation has afforded me more time for searching out my new interest in this plant, which was very much accelerated by my interest in your seeds and developments. It also helps when I can analyze things visually where I have little to no understanding of the scientific jargon.

TZ-OH6 · April 24, 2011

Racoons leave some of those behind around here.

John Stewart · August 23, 2011

I am presently growing out TPS from PI 225673 'Chaucha Oca' as well as 'Guincho Negra' & 'Huagalina'. None of these are "pineapple types", but I'll share some picks of anything interesting after harvest.
Where does one sign up for these samplers, Tom?

**Tom Wagner** · August 23, 2011

John,......My tuber 'samplers' won't be ready until late winter...early spring.

I always thought I should offer newly dug potatoes since those are in prime condition for eating. But mailing out stuff when one is busy digging, picking, extracting is not a good mix for me. If I could ever get beyond the scale of one potato...two potato....sigh.

John Stewart · August 28, 2011

Tom, thanks for the info! I'll keep my eyes peeled for the samplers around that time. I will likely order some seed soon. Rebsie Fairholm over at Blogspot mentioned a Pirampo x Khuchi Akita line of hybrids you have done, is this Cocoon Khuchi?

A couple Andean tubers of Tom wagners,

Fried them this morning, all were excelent.

Medbury Gardens · August 29, 2011

They look so yum Doug,love the look of the one on the right

Mark0820 · September 28, 2011

I like the one on the right also.

We're those potatoes from the sampler boxes or TPS?

wingnut · October 2, 2011

They were tubers direct from Tom's hands. I was very fortunate to be able to participate in a real neat breeding project with him, that included these six and 121 more.

How exciting! That must have been a lot of fun. I'm curious as to what the names of the three large potatoes on the right hand side are?

Hello.

I found another poster on the same page as the one given by Tom.

I had never seen pink or red potato flowers before ! The only colors I'm used to see are between pure white and light purple, but the bunch on last row, second column just made me
