I am currently growing the edible, nodding onion on the side of a mountain in a very cold winter, specialized, Mediterranean climate. All the bulbs survived their first winter, encased in a chicken wire cage to keep the numerous rodents out. I am also growing Garry oaks, but they have had a hard time surviving. I have three decent ones left now. But those appear to be making it after 4 years. I was hoping to establish an oak woodland. Will get more oaks in another year.
