Reply To: White rot experiment

[bluebell]

yes Charles welsh onions are normally propagated by division, however they don’t get very big – fine as spring onions but you would need a lot to cook with to be equivalent to one ordinary onion. Hence my thoughts about crossing a Welsh onion with a normal one to see if you could get something bigger that is still resistant to white rot. However having never crossed anything plant wise in my life I have no idea of how easy or difficult this may be.
