Nature or nurture? Both. Walla Walla and Candy varieties are naturally mild and sweet in most soils, but you could change their nature in extreme soil.

Onions are interesting plants. They know how long the day is and as they are growing they change hormonally when the length of the day is right. Before the change they grow paper thin layers and are thin and skinny, after the change the layers thicken and they become bulbous and meaty. Sorta like women.

No. But I know they legally aren't Vidalias if they aren't grown in the Vidalia region.
