Red Candy Apple

Red Candy Apple

  • Deep red, flattened globe shaped, sweet, hybrid
  • Size Potential: 3"
  • Storage Potential: Approximately 2 months
  • Days to Harvest: 95

Red Candy Apple is absolutely the most beautiful red onion on the market. When planted in short and intermediate day areas it produces larger bulbs. It will not size to jumbo onions in long day areas. However, it will make a great red bulb to be sold early at the farmers' market in all areas. To produce larger bulbs in long day areas, push this onion along with additional nitrogen applications.

Price: $10.75

 

Quantity:

The total price of your onion plant order will be determined at checkout. Pricing is based on the total number of bunches purchased (see chart to the left).

Not up to expectations

This was my first year growing onions. I ordered the intermediate Day sampler. The White Super Stars and Yellow Candy Onions did great! The Red Candy Apple not so much. Only developed a small globe. Think I will skip the Red Candy Apple next year.

The Red Candy onion is possibly the best we have ever grown; some even got a little bigger than the optimum 3 inches. All were sweet and delicious and are holding well past 3 months. We will double our order next year. Good job, Bruce!

I am in Southwest Virginia which is definitely intermediate day. Thus I was thrilled at the offering of Red Candy Apple. It did not disappoint and about half the bunch grew 3in beauties and a few 4in specifmens. The color and flavor are great. I will definitely grow it again. It matured about one week ahead of Candy which produced many 4in and a couple 5in.

My red candy apple onions are doing great. They are making large, slightly flattened, crisp and very red onions. The flavor is strong with a little pungency but not too pungent. They cook extremely well, holding their body and color. They are thriving in a spot that is a little crowded.

For a red onion I was very pleased with production size and sweetness.
Too Much Rain

I was disappointed to not have the opportunity to order Red Mars this year. We loved them last year. This summer in Kentucky we've had so much rain we're lucky to have any onions at all. Red Candy Apple grew large and sweet but none were keepers. In fact, all 4 varieties I grew had to be frozen or used immediately after harvest because of poor growing conditions. I'm hoping for a normal summer next year - and I'll try Red Candy Apple again!

What a disappointment! Red Candy was in no way a satisfactory replacement for Stockton. The latter was reliably sweet and a reasonable size. Red Candy produced very few medium-sized bulbs; most were very small. It was also rather hot. Please bring back Stockton.

I grow for a CSA and farmers markets. This is the first year I tried Red Candy Apple and my customers just loved it, asking for it by name all season long. They also loved the smaller sized bulb that our terrible growing conditions the summer of 2009 in NE provided. I will continue to grow this variety in my mix.
Stockton Red vs Red Candy

I have grown Dixondale onions for many years and was dismayed when Stockton Red disappeared (seed no long available?. But I decided to try its replacement (couldn't find Stockton Red Seed anywhere). Results of initial trials: Red Candy Apple is okay. But Stockton Red is better--larger, earlier, sweeter.MISSOURI
Very nice onions

At first I was a little dissapionted in these onions. I thought they were too small, but once I tried them I changed my mind I thought they were wonderful, and as a bonus they went like hot cakes at the market. They are now one of my more popular onions with my customers. I still think Red Zepplin is sweeter but for market my customers liked the smaller size of these onions.Pleasant View, Colorado

This variety was absolutely superb for me. It was my tastiest onion as well as my best red storage variety. I love having bulbs of all sizes to use through the winter. The ones that didn't make a bulb were harvested and kept in my garage to use all winter as large green onions. Yum!
