Green Bunch Onions

Summary

When onions are harvested in the green or immature stage they are called green bunch onions. These onions are sold in bunches tied with a rubber band. This is a popular crop for home and market gardeners in the fall, winter and early spring. Acreages are usually small because of the amount of hand labor required for planting and preparation for market.
