Georgia Green
A tier
Georgia Green is a modern runner-type cultivar bred for the Georgia peanut belt with strong agronomic traits and classic runner flavour for butter and snacks. Kernels are uniform medium. Taste matches the American peanut-butter expectation. Invisible inside most PB jars, essential in fields. Roasting colour develops evenly. Tomato spotted wilt management history made Georgia Green important to growers.
