'Fuyuwarabe', a bunching onion (Allium fistulosum L.) cultivar with a short thick leaf sheath, low pungency and soft-texture was bred. This is a synthetic variety derived from intercrossing of Fsub(3) individuals and its characteristics remained stable in each generation from Synsub(2) to Synsub(4). The degree of individual variation of 'Fuyuwarabe' appears to be the same as that of open pollinated varieties of bunching onion. 'Fuyuwarabe' exhibited high yield when it was seeded in late June and harvested in middle or late December. This cultivar would certainly be useful for labor-saving of soil hilling for blanching and for shortening of the growing period. It could also be adapted to recent demand for a palatable and compact bunching onion.
