Description Pink Duke Of York – yes you read that correctly. A rare and exquisite sport of the beloved heritage Duke of York, dating back to the late 19th century origins in Aberdeenshire. This pink-skinned gem elevates the classic with its striking blush exterior and light yellow flesh that’s even tastier than its parent—dry, mealy, and bursting with rich, nutty flavor.
