- Copra onion. I've been telling you that the originator of Copra, Bejo Zaden B.V. in the Netherlands would not be producing seeds again. Well, this bummer has transformed itself into joy, because this week an angel from Bejo called us to say that they had decided to keep producing it!


wow that would be horrible! copra is the longest storage onion there is afaik. before they stopped producing seeds i hope there's a comparable onion, i need a storage onin that'll keep until the next harvest. last year my copra where still good 13-14 months after being pulled. my copra this year are in fine shape and i have hardly eaten any instead using the ailsa craigs 1st then the red wings. i'm down to about 5-6 pounds of the red wings, i put them into the kitchen fridge. while going thru them, 1 spouted and 1 was soft both about 4" in size. i lost about 4 or 5 out of 29-30 pounds of red wing. a good keeper.
