Sweet Granex Onion 80 Seeds as Grown in Maui Hawaii Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Sweet Granex Onion Seeds (as grown in Maui, Hawaii) arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I haven't had time (or the right season) to plant yet. I will try to report back with the results at the appropriate time.
I'm wondering if maybe I should have checked the zones before I bought them. I'm not sure if they will grow well in Zone 7. Time will tell. So far, so good.
I will say now though that I've always had excellent results with Hirts seeds and plants.

Maui onions are a variety of Granex onion which are widely cultivated on the Hawaiian island of Maui, although they can be grown in other regions as well. Like other sweet onions, Maui onions lack the sulfur which causes the strong odor and sharp taste associated with onions. The State of Hawaii has invested a great of money in marketing their famous onion variety, putting it on par with Vidalia onions from Georgia, another sweet onion variety. Many markets carry Maui onions in season, along with other sweet varieties, and if you live in a temperate zone, you may be able to grow some yourself.
Hawaiian farmers claim that a true Maui onion must be grown on Maui, because this distinct onion cultivar flourishes best in the rich volcanic soil of Mount Haleakala, the dormant volcano which dominates the landscape of Maui. The volcano's rich, distinctive red soil may well be responsible for the distinctive sweet flavor of the Maui onion, although the warm weather on the island probably has something to do with it as well. The Yellow Granex is excellent for eating fresh!
