VEGETABLES / POTATO-SEED
NOT TUBERS - I HAVE THESE TUBERS BUT I'M NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE ANY! It's a potato variety developed at Colorado State. The tubers are PVP protected and cannot be traded without a license and paying royalties to the breeder. The botanical seed is not protected by the PVP law, but the breeder would appreciate to be given credit for the progeny grown from this seed, if the product is published. This is botanical seed harvested from potato seed berries which self-pollinated [not a controlled cross] therefore the TPS name matches with the female parent which self or cross pollinated with unknown male parent. For this variety I only have 10 seeds to mail per order. Also, check out the SSE online exchange to see pictures of the tedious seed extraction. Imagine I only had one berry in 2016! See how much work to extract the seed, keep in water with baking soda to clean, dry on wax paper, then freeze - perhaps 30 minutes to get a little more than 50 seeds. BUT - HERE IS THE BEAUTY - THESE SEEDS MAY BE VIABLE FOR 50 YEARS!!
