  AstroTubers - Potato Minitubers

  AstroTubers (potato minitubers) are tubers produced by one or two node stem cuttings derived from established tissue culture plantlets, Stem cuttings are made from the tissue culture plantlets after a growth period of 3 to 4 weeks in a phytotron. Repeated stem cuttings can be made from the established plantlets at approximately 3 week intervals. The tissue culture plantlets are replaced annually.
