Salad Onion
Eiffel
A White Lisbon type but with distinctive stiff upright leaves which shed water very effectively, making Eiffel less susceptible to disease at difficult times of the season. Slow to bulb, especially in the long days of summer. A very versatile variety, which although predominantly for spring and summer production, will over winter with careful crop husbandry. An ideal companion for Ramrod, especially during the summer cropping period.
Guardsman
A very distinct and innovative variety from the Tozer breeding programme. Guardsman combines the non bulbing qualities of A.fistulosum varieties and the reduced pungency qualities of A. cepa types. A vigorous root system helps to maintain the strong, upright, dark blue-green leaves which make this variety not only very suitable for the summer cropping period, but also ideal for autumn crops when disease can be a particular problem.
Ramrod
A distinct Tozer salad onion which has proved itself in the market place. Very versatile, being used for both spring and autumn production. Ramrod is also winter hardy, making it a good variety for drilling in the autumn. Additionally, it can be used for producing larger, bolder type salad onions, especially if overwintered and left to develop in the early spring. Very popular and a superb stablemate to Eiffel.
Shimonita
A novel salad onion for the specialist market. Shimonita has thick tubular foliage and a sweet mild flavour. If grown at lower density it can mature to a size comparable with leeks.
Apache
Attractive and versatile red skinned variety with mild flavour and crisp texture. Apache has been developed to satisfy the market demand for a red salad onion which is vibrant and also peels. For spring, summer and autumn production.
Sentry
A tall, non bulbing variety, which has been grown successfully for many years. Sentry is recognised as a versatile salad onion, suitable for summer and autumn crops.
Summer isle
Tozer selected Japanese salad onion for summer and autumn production. Summer Isle has a sweet flavour and lower pungency giving it more consumer appeal. Good green colour and very upright habit.
White Lisbon
Original variety for the salad onion market. Still widely used for a range of applications to back up the more specialised varieties. Our stock of this White Lisbon is always well received by growers.
