Colorado Largo is one of the peanuts I trialed in 2025 for oil content and earlyness. It provided a modest yield from huge lanky plants, with very long vines. The plants were loaded with pods, but most were immature when I harvested in October. Obviously, the potential for very large yields is there, but my climate has a very short season. Colorado Largo was collected in Bolivia and entered into the USDA in 1968.
I will be growing these again, given the summer in 2025 was unusual with very hot temperatures and drought conditions. Another factor was the initial germination rate, which was low and took over 3 weeks for the peanuts to emerge.
* I am making available a small amount of these early trial peanuts. They have not been adapted to my region here in Northern Indiana, and your results may vary. My initial yields were modest at best, but I think they show promise. I would not recommend this variety for growing in zone five and below. I am on the border between zone 5 and 6.
