My experience is the white would keep a lot better than the walla walla and almost as long as the yellow. I grow mostly CANDY as they are a good sweet onion and they keep till spring fore me. YOPPER

Yopper--What's your secret for keeping Candy onions until spring? Thanks. Geezer

GeezerI wait till most of the tops fall over and then bend the rest over. wait about two weeks pull them and let them dry in the garden for two days. then I put on cotton gloves and rub the dirt off them and with garden shears I cut off the roots and tops a half inch above the bend.Then I spread them out on the floor of my pole building for 4 to 6 weeks. then before it gets cold enough to freeze them I sort them any that look like they want to grow my wife freezes. the rest about 3 bu. go in my bedroom closet.The hard part of the prosses is getting your wife too agree YOPPER

yopper,

what's the temperature in the closet? onions store best at 37 F. is candy known for long storage? does it have a thick or thin neck? as most known, thick necks typically don't store as well as thin neck onions. my ailsa craig exhibit stored until the 3rd week in january vs mid december or other sweet spanish generics at a greenhouse. i thought ace was about the longest storage sewwt onion out there.

interested in candy....
