red wing vs red bull

[tjg911]

i grew both this year. i have grown red wing (rw) for several years, this is the 1st year i have grown red bull (rb).

all onions are planted in a bed, 6" on center, started from seed in early feb, transplanted out in early april, harvested mid aug.

rw is a sweeter onion, rb is a little hot but not overly so.

rw is red all the way thru to the core whereas rb is red about 1/2 way into the onion then the rest is white.

rw are a little smaller. i harvested 29 of each and the rw weighed 10 pounds, the rb weighed 13 pounds. the rb are on average larger than rw some quite a bit larger.

rw store at least 10 usually 12 months for me. i intend to keep some rb until they start to grow to see how well they store.

i like the rw better as they are red to the core and they are sweeter but i could be happy if all i had was rb IF they store as well. time will tell.
