I bought kestrel, charlotte, red duke of york, rooster and maris piper and i cant remember which one is which. one lot is chitted purple sprouts another is chitting pinky red sprouts but the other 3 are all white! (left them in bag)!
arghhh poo!
Red Duke Of York should be easy to identify - bright red, especially when wet
Rooster are a deeper red almost purple.
Charlotte are very pale and oval shaped
Maris piper are a deep yellow and more ball shaped than oval.
Kestral is oval with pruple/blue patches on the skin.
A very good descrptive response Slugkiller, that should help sort them out... :)
I am also very impressed with Slug-killers descriptions!
Hope you sort them out ok! ;D
Excellent descriptions. Just in case though, they all have photos on the Alan Romans site.

Lucky they are such different types :)
Thats what happens if you eat too many - you can name them by sight at 20 paces.
What's even sadder, I can generally name them by their flowers.
I must get out more. :(
