I'm interested in a trade. I just updated my list. I'll send you an email.

I lost my start of bunch onions a few years ago. They multiplied in the ground and were about the size of a pencil.Does anyone know where I can find some that are similar or better? Anything that multiplies and tastes good.Thanks! Mylon

Hi Deborah, I've been looking for multiplier onions for a couple of years on trade, not much success. However, I did get a nice start of two varieties of walking onions and some Heiritage White bunching onions, but I don't have any to share as yet as I just put them in last fall. Moose Tubers on the web has them for the most reasonable price for potato onions I've been able to find. There are quite a few companies on the web that sell shallots for reasonable prices. I've tried posting on the Allium exchange but not many people post there and most posts are quite old. You might check with some of the old posts to see if they have any available. That is what I did. Good luck, Alan

Top setting (Allium cepa (proliferum group)) and multiplier/ potato onions are unique (Allium cepa Aggregatum group). The other category is somewhat ambiguous, sometimes called bunching onions, shallops, salad onions etc. They may be Allium cepa( the common onion), Allium fistulosum, Allium cepa Aggregatum group. Their common trait is that thier use is as small non bulbing green onions. The topsetting/Walkin/Tree/Egyptian onion is a perennial onion whose main characteristic is that it sets little onion bulb where the seedhead would form on the other types. Allium cepa Aggregatum group do seed but are noted for dividing into multiple small bulbs, which are then replanted in the subsequent year. The larger bulbing types are commonly called potato onions altho the term shallot is often applied to the whole group.. Allium fistulosum often known as Welse onions also divide into clusters of little bulbs. Some of them are also perennial. Used as bunching onions Topsetting onions are extremely pungent, the others will compete with a common storage onion. Sweetest would be the shallot. But a cured potato onion is pretty pungent. If you really want sweet onions, stick to the sweet varieties of the common onion. Candy, Granex types, Bermudas etc. Here is a link that might be useful: Egyptian Onion
