What varieties do you currently grow?

In my experience, you are better off with long season potatoes that spread widely. As Wmontanez stated, Red Ox is a variety that would not do especially well in a tower.

Or conversely, others have found that some varieties do not mind crowding, and crowding more seed potatoes in the tower increases yield to maximize the area. You would end up with more small tubers rather than fewer large tubers.

Both methods are variety specific.
