Description

Shallots Biztro is a relatively new Dutch shallot variety positioned in the early segment, valued for consistency and presentation. It produces neat, round shallots with tough red brown skin and pale red flesh, and it is noted for strong resistance to bolting, which improves reliability in changeable spring weather.

Planting window in Ireland is typically late winter to spring when soil is workable. Plant sets in firm, well drained soil in full sun, with the tip just showing. Keep weed free and water during dry spells early on, then ease off as bulbs swell. Harvest when foliage yellows and falls, usually mid to late summer, then dry and cure before storing. Early varieties like Biztro suit growers who want an earlier lift and a tidy, uniform result for storage and cooking.
