RHS Award Onion Ishikura is a Japanese bunching type of onion. It produces long white stalks with short green tops which can be pulled when they are as thin as a pencil or as thick as a carrot. It doesn't form a bulb so looks almost like a young leek. It has a fine mild flavour to it which makes it ideal for salads or stir frys. One of the most popular crops for the gardener, onions are a huge must for any allotment holder or for the gardener who has their own little vegetable garden at home, as they are so versatile and can be used for a variety of different things.
