Evergreens

Golden triangular roots with many lateral roots hairs. Superficially ribbed skin. White flesh. Medium to large in size. Dark green hairy leaves have light green and purple petioles. Semi prostrate growth habit. Plants measure 1.0-2.0' tall and 2.6-3.5' tall. SSE member Marcy Frantom (LA FR M) donated this variety to SSE in the mid-2000s. She acquired it from Carolyn Tucker and indicated that it's a variety which is "naturalized in old fields in Winn, Natchitoches and Bienville Parishes, LA, said to be European and part of "the cult of bitter greens" the old farmers liked."
