(a.k.a. Tree Onion, Egyptian Onion)A very hardy perennial onion that produces clusters of marble size bulbils at the tops of the leaves instead of seed heads. The bulbils can be used for cooking and the greens are one of the first to grow in the spring. In 1908, the McKenzie Seed Company from Brandon, MB wrote "We would especially recommend the perennial, or tree onion, for extremely early onions, susceptible of being eaten green as bunch onions." The earliest reports of this onion are from the 1790’s in England. A very productive onion, since one little bulbil will grow into a reasonable size plant by the following summer. This very hardy plant survives the winters in Manitoba with no problems at all.
