Ebenezer

Medium-sized, flattened, yellow onion with light brown skin. Bulbs 2" tall, 3" wide, 4-6ozs. Some size variability. Bulbs with two growing centers are not uncommon. Strong, erect, blue-green tops. Good keeper. Long day. Donated to SSE in 2015 by Larry & Wilma Rettig, Amana Colony descendants who have been stewarding this onion since the early 1980s. The Rettigs received the variety from Wilma's mother, Carrie Shoup. This is the original yellow 'Ebenezer' onion maintained in the communal kitchen gardens of the Amana Colonies in eastern Iowa.
