What is Tokyo Long White scallion?
Tokyo Long White is a bunching onion, also called a scallion or green onion, that grows long, slender white shanks with no bulb. It has a mild, sweet onion flavor perfect for salads, stir-fries, and garnishes.
Do Tokyo Long White scallions form a bulb?
No, as a bunching onion it stays non-bulbing, producing straight white stalks instead of a rounded bulb. This makes it a reliable green-onion crop that is not affected by day length like bulb onions are.
When and how do I sow Tokyo Long White seeds?
Direct sow 1/4 inch deep from early spring through late summer, making successive sowings every few weeks for a steady supply. Seeds germinate in about 1-2 weeks in full sun to part shade.
How long until Tokyo Long White scallions are ready to harvest?
Tokyo Long White is ready in about 60-70 days, though you can pull thinnings even earlier as baby scallions. Harvest whenever the stalks reach usable size by pulling the whole plant.
How far apart should I sow bunching onions?
Sow seeds thickly in bands or rows and thin to about 1/2 to 1 inch apart, with rows 8-12 inches apart. Close spacing keeps the shanks long and slender.
How many Tokyo Long White seeds are in a packet, and are they non-GMO?
Each packet contains approximately 450 open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds, plenty for successive scallion plantings all season.
Do these onions form bulbs?
No, they are a bunching type grown for long white stalks rather than bulbs.
Can I keep harvesting from the same plants?
Yes, snip the green tops and they will regrow for several cuttings.
