[New shoot]

Does anyone know a supplier for these please. I've just read about them and want to try them but have come up empty handed on the internet looking for a supplier.

Thank you for any replies

Where abouts did you here of them New Shoot? Never heard of them myself

Sound interesting tho

I was reading the Helligan Vegetable Bible (snowed in today!) and they are in there. They split like a shallot but develop underground and are described as mild and unusually sweet. I've tried all the stockists listed in the back of the book but no joy and a search on the internet only throws up American sites

Have you tried asking Heligan?

I looked at their web site but it is all very geared to the ticket sales side. There is a little bit about their plant sales area but no plant list. In the book, they say they save their own seed, but it's just finding the original source

Maybe email them and ask where you can get some?

are these a type of shallot or evergreen chive? are these what you are looking for ?

have some recollection of them being harmful to dogs - but i am getting closer to the land of the confused so take that with a pinch of salt.

They aren't listed, but you might be able to call the shop and ask.

Info on the Potato Onion - sounds interesting - if you find a supplier then do post it! I'll start looking as well.

Is this the 'Walking Onion'? Also known as Tree Onion or.... Egyptian Onion, Allium cepa?

If so, I have some that I haven't had a chance to plant - a very kind person (on here, I think) let me have them and I am afraid my plot is not yet ready... they should be ok though - I could let you have a few to try..?


I should stress that these are bulbs, not seeds.

I'd be very interested to try the walking onion, I was after some from real seeds but they were out of stock

I don't know how many I have (not many, I don't think) but let me have a look when I get home and I'll drop you a PM. 

[Yabba]

Much appreciated, even just 1 would be cool

No - it's the opposite of the walking onion it multiplies underground.

I got some Egyptian Walking Onions from Canada off ebay...and will have some to swap later in the year as they've all sprouted [they went in the ground in august].

[scabs]

Ah, well. Never mind - I tried!

I'm sure the EWO's will be just as fun if not more. I can't wait for mine to shoot up and start strutting around the place.
