Branches

Every Egyptian Walking Onion plant is unique. Sometimes these plants are called "Tree Onions" because of they can grow branches from one cluster of topsets to the next. Some branches are snakelike and twist into spiraling shapes. Branches grow from a cluster of sets on top of the plant stalk. At the end of the branch, another cluster of topsets will grow. Sometimes a second branch will grow from the second cluster, and then grow a third cluster. I have seen branching out to 5 clusters!
