German Butterball Selection B is an late, medium-maturing, fresh market yellow flesh potato.
This cultivar is fast emerging with a medium vine and white flower. German Butterball
has a indeterminate growth habit, late maturing, and a large extensive root system. Standard German Butterballs have a high set of tubers
that can make good size a problem. Selection B has averaged around 10 tubers/hill which is half of the normal 20 for standard
german butterball sets. Thus selection B can have much better tuber size earlier.
Tubers are yellow fleshed, oval and smooth to slightly flaky with a yellow skin color; eyes are shallow and well
distributed; medium specific gravity.
