Have Korean Purple SP & others, Need Okinawan Purple Sweet Potato maybe others

[MassSpectrum]

I have 50+ types of sweet potatoes: many heirlooms, all different colors including some ornamental types. Well stocked with Japanese purple skin white flesh (Murasaki), Korean Purple skin/flesh, Caribbean purple skin white flesh. Also have many other fancy/tropical rootcrop plant types, some fruit stuff and more if thats what it takes.

Korean Purple:


I can match tubers for tubers, but they must be from your garden not from the store (not Okinawan). I'll also match tubers for your strips of vines, or whatever. If sending vines its best they're packed in moistened cocopeat, or first soaked for a couple days in water  (leaves sticking out) in a simple bucket or whatever. If you're interested in swapping per volume (say matching sized Priority Mail boxes) I'd be willing to put more than one type of thing in the space.

Motivated & flexible. Also interested in making my list longer of course

I have molokai purple cuttings, liberty cuttings (haven't harvested it), unknown purple (probably from those "Japanese Yams" in ethic markets), okinawan purple in a 2 months, orange barberman, and razorback (Sandhill sent me this in assortment but don't list it in their catalog ) .

That is my list. I'm interested in a any orange fleshed, red/orange skin. Especially if it flowered well. I can also add chipilin seeds to sweeten the deal. Plus since ahipa seed I promised you a while ago. I sourced jicama seed locally so yeah. I send cuttings in regular mail in a bubbled mailer with cardboard so far for two packages. Works just fine and saves postage money. Pretty sure roots could last a long while in the mail with proper packaging, so no priority.

I also have Liberty, Barberman & Razorback. I actually have another list to add in. I did a last ditch random special deal with SH, I ordered one of each of their combos at the end of season closeout. I have to go thru and make sure they all survived then update the main list here.

Honestly I've been so blown away by the op here all year I havent hardly had time to go thru and learn much about any of these new ones in this year (most of them). But I know there are definitely orange types in the mix.

Def like to get some of that Molokai you have as well..

[MassSpectrum]

Here's some other new ones I have from Sand Hill:
Amish White Bunch
Baker
Bradshaw
Bush Porto Rico
Carolina Bunch
Cordness Red
Hannah
Hayman
Julian
Liberty
Navito
Porto Rico Runner
Texas Red

There's other around here from that order as well. Also have another new lot of 5 but but aren't sure whether or not they're all 'true' ornamental; that's what the vendor deals in but no info of food value was there.

[afriadoni]

i wish you have fig cuttings

[MassSpectrum]

No, not yet. I have begun some initial seed work this year, but dont intend to truly take on that tribe until next year. Same with Passiflora's and a couple other clans I'm sure. Been making decent strides into the latter this year, it always starts with locking down seed+seedling flow etc then moves onto the cultivar work...

Ert wait I did actually collect a lot of fresh Climbing fig (Ficus pumila) cuttings about an hour ago at a friends but I suspect you are way beyond that league...

I don't really care about variety names. I mainly want small tubers from any red skin orange flesh. I can send 5 cutting of molokai and 1 rooted cutting of Okinawan. Wpuld prefer the tade by the end of this month. Getting chilly here.

I hope this isn't too broad, but which of the SP varieties have you seen do WELL in South Florida?  I love sweet potatoes!!

[afriadoni]

there are some varieties of sweet potato here.. i think best of them was ubi cilembu madu ,,

this site may help http://akardanumbi.blogspot.com/2013/11/mengenal-ubi-cilembu-lebih-dekat.html

Now that I think of it, last year I grabbed a couple-few random sorts from a Asian grocery. I actually needed satsumaimo and bought one thinking it was it (should have white flesh), but I think it had orange flesh i discovered later. Should still be out there, but a good example I try to avoid grabbing odd stuff if no proper name as I try to maintain a policy of not putting who-knows-what material into my site. So that one and its companions (all misnamed as "Japanese") have been more a burden until if I figure out what they are. Most the only room I have to grow over here is dedicated to the site wide propagation system wrapped around the website etc.

That one should have some tubers. But these other new ones from late this spring they MIGHT, but I'm not counting on it. I had so many of them and a bunch of other stuff going on all at once while summer was closing in. So the boxes of slips got set to trays and stashed in the shade to best survive the scorching summer (this year was unusually DRY too).

I live in Central FL...

But you can bet that Boniato the Caribbean tropical sweet potato will run wild there.

[gunnar429]

let me rephrase:  which SPs have done well for you in Central FL?

[MassSpectrum]

Most of that lists I havent had here until past 6 months. Only have real experience with Satsumaimo, Boniato (intense plant), mirasaki, beauregard, hatki... think thats all I had until recent. I've seen them all swell. Even in the trays they do they burst the cells if I dont constantly reboot them. Seen satsuma go fine in jumbo 24" pot with barely half way decent soil. Hatki well adjusted for shit FL sand 'soil' (pretty sure its Tampa's native strain). Boniato went nuts this year along driveway edge (the 3' between driveway the the row of 24" pots parallel with it). OH, during the early year I kept sweeping leaf fall and soil debris over the strip and it mounded a good 10", but just beneath was was FL 'soil'.

It's a sub/tropical plant that loves heat; always expected if it grows it will swell.
