MAHON Varieties

MAHON was developed from continuous selection and reselection from over 25 years for eating quality, productivity and visually appealing shape. Mahon has an orange flesh with a rose color skin. Mahon has an outwardly spreading, dense canopy with leaves palmate, lobed and veined alternate. Normally Mahon leaves have 7 lobes. Petiole average lengths are thinner and shorter compared to Covington. Mahon tends to be affected greatly by soil fertility and water from rain or irrigation. Mahon is excellent for eating with a unique leaf shape for vegetable sweetpotatoes. US Plant Patent Variety Producers
