Brevoort River is a cross between Michigan Purple and likely Nordic October.
What is nice about this cross is that Nordic October has had great scab resistance and Michigan Purple supposedly has a problem with that.
The TPS of Brevoort River is either selfed or perhaps back crossed to Nordic October again, since they were side by side during the berry formation.
I would say Brevoort is very similar to Michigan Purple but perhaps more like a red potato for usage. I am hoping customers with the Brevoort River TPS will tell me soon what colors they are coming up with this season. I will be focusing my work with the actual cross of Brevoort River X Nordic October to compare the OP seed to determine if the TPS seed I sent out is the same as my purposeful cross. I am determined to find some violet-reds in the progeny.
BTW...about the Michigan Purple the grandfather of the TPS Brevoort River you may have....I must find my own pictures of Brevoort River.
