Egyptian Walking Onion

Tree Onion
A unique perennial onion that forms clusters of small bulbs (bulbils) at the top of its stalks. The stalks bend over and replant themselves, giving the onion its "walking" name.

Growing Environment

  • Soil Texture: Sandy Soil

    Large particles, gritty, excellent drainage, poor nutrient retention.

  • pH Range: < 5.0

    Extremely acidic, often found in marshy or waterlogged areas.

  • Organic Matter: Very Low (< 1%)

    Soils with minimal organic matter, typically found in degraded or over-farmed soils.

  • Salinity Level: 4 - 8 (Moderately Saline)

    Salinity begins to affect many common crops, reducing their growth and yield.
    Impact: Moderate stress on crops like corn, wheat, and lettuce; salt-tolerant plants like barley may still thrive.

  • Hardiness Zone: 1A (Min: -60°F, Max: -55°F)
  • Humidity: Moderate

    Comfortable for most plants; typical for temperate regions.
    Impact: Generally ideal for most crops and plants; supports healthy growth and development.
