Riceke - sorry to get back to you so late at night. I believe that "Ambition" was described as approx. 2 inches in the catalogue; however most of mine were at least 3" or more (my husband still can't distinguish them from smallish onions). They also only seemed to split into 2 or 3 individual shallots per bulb (I don't think my terminology is quite right) and are very easy to peel, slice or dice or any other prep for cooking. Will be growing it again this year, along with a torpedo shaped hybrid named "Banana". Am still trying to locate an open pollinated variety - for some reason alliums from seed do much better up here (at least in my garden) than sets - my theory is that sets are all set to produce seed instead of bulking up to furnish my storage room.
