The potato onion (also known as an Egyptian onion, underground onion [1] or multiplier onion) [2] is a group of varieties [3] which Maud Grieve calls Allium × proliferum [1] but has also been classed in the Aggregatum Group of Allium cepa, similar to the shallot. [3]
Allium fistulosum, the Welsh onion, also commonly called bunching onion, long green onion, Japanese bunching onion, and spring onion, is a species of perennial plant, often considered to be a kind of scallion. The species is very similar in taste and odor to the related common onion, Allium cepa, and hybrids between the two (tree onions) exist.

Bulbs are separated, and planted in the fall 25 mm (1 in) below the surface and 300 mm (12 in) apart.

[2] [3] [4] However, some sources may still treat the tree onion as A. cepa var. proliferum or A. cepa Proliferum Group.
Gleaning is the act of collecting leftover crops in the field after harvest. During harvest, there is food that is left or missed often because it does not meet store standards for uniformity. Sometimes, fields are left because they were not economically profitable to harvest.
Onion Sets: small bulbs from the previous harvest are not allowed to mature and are dried. These bulbs are used in the current season, and often grow the quickest out of all planting methods and produce larger than natural bulbs. [22] [24] Onion Seeds: seeds of the white onion that can be planted into sets in late Spring. While this method may ...
