Bought three of these for shade trees and of course to try the leaves, a popular vegetable in China I believe with a flavour somewhat onion-like. I'm hoping the ones I bought have pink new growth as these are apparently the better flavoured toons. I'll post more on this as time goes by.

I look forward to it. i've got five or so that i started from seed spring 2011, none of which has been big enough yet to eat from. it's slow going, partly because i've still got them in pots...

Mine didn't have a variety name. Spring is almost here so I'll get to see the new growth at least. I bought them dormant.

It can be coppiced (in fact harvesting is a king of coppicing), so if one day you have a glasshouse, you'll can make a try (moreover it seems that the main propagation system besides seeds is root cutting, this is for you !)
