A new and distinct variety of Prunus rootstock tree that exhibits desirable disease resistance and induces a high yield of large fruits for grafted varieties.

Ipomoea batatas ‘NCPUR13-0030’ is a purple fleshed, smooth skinned, dark purple-colored, table stock sweetpotato. ‘NCPUR13-0030’ produces high yields of well-shaped and uniformly sized No. 1 sized roots. It is a mid-season variety. The flavor of the baked storage roots of ‘NCPUR13-0030’ have been judged to be good by standardized and informal taste panels.

Ipomoea batatas ‘NCPUR13-0315’ is a purple fleshed, smooth skinned, dark purple-colored, table stock sweetpotato. ‘NCPUR13-0315’ has good yields of well-shaped and uniformly sized No.1 sized roots. It is a mid-season cultivar for optimal production of No.1 sized roots.

Ipomoea batatas ‘NC04-0531’ is an orange fleshed, smooth skinned, dark rose-colored, table stock sweetpotato. ‘NC04-0531’ has good insect resistance. It has an upright, compact canopy that helps to suppress weeds within a row and is slower to trail across rows allowing for a longer period of cultivation with weed control. It is a long season variety to size for optimal production of No. 1 sized roots. Size and shape uniformity of ‘NC04-0531’ are very good. The flavor of the baked storage roots of ‘NC04-0531’ has been judged to be very good by standardized and informal taste panels. Because of its insect resistance and plant canopy characteristics, ‘NC04-0531’ is seen as a good option for organic production.
