Tokyo Kuro onion is a hybrid variety characterized by high productivity and resilience. This onion can successfully grow in various climatic conditions, including Ukrainian summers, thanks to its heat tolerance and resistance to sunburn. The vegetation period is 45-50 days, making it early-maturing and allowing for a fresh harvest in a short time. The plant can be grown year-round, adapting agronomic practices to seasonal characteristics, and in colder periods, plastic covers are recommended for protection and to maintain stable productivity.
The distinctive feature of Tokyo Kuro is its appearance and taste. The onion has a long white stem, 15-18 cm in length, and a rich green leafy part, 25-30 cm long. The taste of this variety is characterized by low spiciness and a sweeter flavor compared to regular onions, making it especially attractive to consumers. The leaves have a rich green color, indicating high product quality and giving the onion an appealing appearance.
Moreover, Tokyo Kuro is characterized by a long storage life — under proper conditions, freshness is retained for up to 30 days after harvest. High resistance to diseases and stable fruiting both in open ground and under cover make this variety an ideal choice for commercial cultivation and use. The French producer Vilmorin guarantees high seed quality, ensuring excellent results when growing this variety.
