	Green Bunching Onions, Commercial Vegetable Production Guides, North Willamette Research and Extension Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Bunching onions may be produced from immature, thickly planted white onion varieties of Allium cepa and from Allium fistulosum (commonly known as Japanese bunching types), or, rarely, from an interspecific hybrid of cepa x fistulosum.
		Green bunching onions are known by several names depending on the region of the country.
