Potato tubers & plant senescence

News Articles / guildfordcycads

Are there potato varieties where the tubers can be harvested IN the vegetative stage of the plant?

Of course there’s the practice of new potatoes. But those get harvested in the flowering stage of the potato lifecycle. As far as I know, the vegetative growth of the part of the plant above ground is arrested when flowering starts.

I have the idea for an infinite potato tower, where you have modular cylindrical sections that are stackable. When the potatoes are ready to harvest, you would remove the lowest section to harvest and in time stacke another section on top, which would fill with soil.

If there were potato cultivars where the plant doesn’t die off then that idea could be viable.

Hence the question.

Have a nice day, everybody!
