| Wonderful onion for hot weather. Have accidentally left them in the ground into July and they were still in good shape. Gentle flavor. Fairly good storage, but once they start to degrade, they go downhill rapidly. |

| Gulf Coast Texas. Planted in sandy soil, fed with compost, re-fertilized twice. They did really well in 2009/2010. I have limited refrigeration space, so the ones on the pantry shelf developed mildew in our hot, humid climate. Replanted this winter. |

| This variety did quite well in our 2006 garden and (sets) were planted in Dec 2006 for the upcoming 2007 spring harvest. However, once harvested, the onions do not keep for a very long periods. The retention time is improved if the onions are moved indoors - less humidity and lower temperatures. Also, to compensate for the shorter shelf liffe we cut/chopped and froze the harvested onions. This worked very well and will certainly be repeated this year. |

| A large short day onion, That looks and tastes like an extra large hybrid Yellow Granex. Under many conditions it is a better tasting sweet onion. Have only tried it as winter planted onion. |
