Japanese / chinese ? onions

[Kaido]

Trying to get info and source of this plant but I do not really know whether proper name is  Japanese, or Chinese, onions, they grow similarly to scallions except crop year round and can be used on a "cut and grow" basis.

Would appreciate any further details about them, whether seeds or bulbs and their cultivation in our climate.

hiya, Kaido, welcome to the site, we've grown ishikura , they grow like a leek rather than an onion  :)

The Kitazawa link is interesting but I suspect they won't ship outside the US - there is a reference to possible problems shipping to Canada.
There is another company in California that also do them but again they won't ship outside the US.

However, Roguelands, do one heirloom variety and they do ship outside the US

Kaido, Pity you don't live in the Northeast you could have all you wanted. Not that you need many, i call them Russian onions as the have rushed all over my garden.

I have seen  some of  these seeds on offer from  some of the companies I buy from in the US, not the company listed, it is a lost cause, I will fish out the catalogues and get back to you . PLEASE keep away from Roguelands.XX Jeannine

I do have Ishikuro which is marketed a spring onion but i ca be left in the ground and left to get as thick as a carrott, like a leek but more oniony.Very long ahrvesting period, sow once and they  last a very long time
