Comments: Fair keeper. Stands handling well. Heavy yields. Harvest young for green onions or harvest when mature for bulbs. Best choice for green onions and all purpose cooking onions. Bulbs are flattened & have pale yellow skin. Crisp, yellowish-white flesh. Very pungent with mature. Onion sets are quick. Producing mild tasting green onions in 2-4 week. Cold hardy & disease tolerant. Sets come up under almost all types of conditions. If delayed planting occurs, store in a cool, dry place not subject to freezing. Water frequently as onions are shallow rooted. Harvest: Mature onions are when the tops turn brown & look pinches at the point where they connect with the bulb. To store: Cut off the stem about 1 inch above the bulb. Store bulbs in a cool, dark and dry place in shallow open trays. Onion sets are not available in ID.
