Plants develop strong tops and uniform bulbs, providing dependable yields when grown in regions with the long summer daylight needed for good bulb development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flesh has a mild, slightly sweet flavour and satisfying crisp texture. It is excellent sliced fresh into salads, sandwiches and salsas, or used for pickling, roasting, grilling and general cooking. The white bulbs are particularly useful where a clean, mild onion flavour is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Utah Jumbo is a \u003cstrong\u003elong-day onion\u003c\/strong\u003e, requiring the longer daylight hours of late spring and summer to initiate and develop substantial bulbs. It is therefore best suited to cooler southern regions of Australia, where summer days are sufficiently long. In warmer northern regions, short-day varieties are generally more reliable for mature bulb production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnions have been cultivated since ancient times, with their origins generally traced to Central and Southwest Asia. Their versatility, flavour and ability to store made them an important staple crop throughout the ancient world and eventually led to varieties adapted to different climates, latitudes and day lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the largest bulbs, provide generous spacing, full sun and fertile, well-drained soil.

As a long-day variety, White Utah Jumbo requires sufficiently long summer daylight hours for reliable bulb formation, making latitude and sowing time important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduce watering as the bulbs approach maturity. Harvest in summer once the tops naturally yellow, dry and fall over.
