Georgia Jet is one of the fastest-maturing orange sweet potatoes, developed specifically for northern gardeners with short growing seasons. It can produce a substantial crop in as little as ninety days, giving growers in cooler climates a dependable harvest where slower varieties fail. The roots have reddish-purple skin and deep orange, moist flesh with a sweet, rich flavor. Georgia Jet is vigorous and productive, often sizing up quickly, which means gardeners should harvest before roots grow oversized and crack. Because of its speed and cold-region reliability, it is one of the most recommended varieties for home growers north of the traditional sweet potato belt, and it performs well even in a cool, wet summer.
