SHALLOTS & TREE ONIONS
SITUATION: Sunny and well drained. Soil is best prepared a few months before planting. Avoid using manure which is rich in nitrogen, as too much of this tends to lower the storage value of the bulbs. TIME OF PLANTING: May to December. In cooler areas, plant August to November for best results. Shallots should be planted just below the soil surface and spaced 15-20cm apart. Plant Tree Onions about 3cm deep and space the same distance apart. WHILE GROWING: Water during dry spells and keep free of weeds. DIGGING & STORING: Bulbs should be dug when the tops begin to fall over. A good clump of bulbs will have developed by this time. If left in too long they may begin a second growth and bulb size will decrease markedly. When dug, allow to dry and then clean and separate bulbs. Store in a cool, dry place or hang up in open-weave bags. Shallots and Tree Onions will keep for up to 12 months. With Tree Onions, either the top bulblets or base bulbs can be replanted.
