I got this variety from Gary Schuam, about ten years ago. As I understand, an older couple from Ozark County, Missouri received slips of this sweet potato, as a wedding gift, and after 50 years of marriage they passed on slips to others who made it available to us. The original variety name has been lost.
This sweet potato has orange flesh and skin. It's only moderately productive for me. Eating quality is good. My observations this year, when harvesting it: Produced nearly all ideal sized roots (roughly 1 lb). The whole harvest was directly below the plants. Vines were not very rampant. I observed no flowers or buds on the vines. Vines and leaves are green with only a little bit of maroon shading on some of the vines.
Here's a picture of the entire crop from 6 plants.
Here's a photo of one plant and what it yielded. Notice the distinctive shape of this variety's roots.
