I think that the tops are large because they have been grown in a

I thought that too. Inspecting our pink fir spuds, the leaves are
definitely smaller than the desiree ones. Perhaps there is some
variety with smaller leaves!? This is the first time I do pink fir, at
the lotty and in the 'famous bucket'. Plants from both places have
distinctly smaller leaves than the ordianary white spuds.

Pink Fir Apple are slower to get going and do not make so much top
growth. Mine went in about a week after 4 other varieties and are
only just showing leaf, where the others are well up.
