Onion ‘Tornado’ (Autumn Planting) – 1 pack £4.99
Autumn Planting.New and Exclusive Onion Tornado comes from the same breeding programme at HRI Wellesbourne as the hugely popular, Shakespeare. We foresee Tornado quickly becoming a competitor as the best overwintering onion variety. Maturity is from late June when Tornado can be harvested and stored for up to 8 weeks until the spring-planted varieties start cropping, so maintaining your onion supplies. With good resistance to bolting, Tornado produces a slightly deeper round bulb than Shakespeare and much rounder than the Japanese ‘Senshyu’ types. More tolerant of drought and shown to successfully produce crops in heavier soils, you should plant Tornado in October for optimum results, although a September to November planting will also produce good yields.
