Everything about Tree Onion totally explained
Tree onions are a strong-growing
onion with a bunch of bulblets where a normal onion would have flowers.
They are members of the "proliferum" cultivar of the onion (
Allium cepa), and are also commonly called
Top Onions,
Topset Onions,
Walking Onions, or
Egyptian onions. In some varieties these bulblets will sprout and grow while still on the original stalk, which may bend down under the weight of the new growth, giving rise to the name,
walking onion. While these onions are often listed as
Allium cepa var.
proliferum, recent research has shown that the tree onion is a cross between
Allium cepa, the cultivated
onion, and
Allium fistulosum, the
Welsh onion. The
Royal Horticultural Society currently treats it as
Allium cepa Proliferum Group. This phenomenon of forming bulblets instead of flowers is also seen in
garlic and other various wild species of
Allium.
