The Chinese toon tree, which is deciduous and capable of withstanding harsh winters, is very cold and resilient. The young, soft leaves of the Beef and Onion Plant, also known as Chinese Toon, are prized as a distinctive vegetable and herb. The young leaves, which have a savoury flavour that will remind you of beef and onions, are being used parboiled or stir-fried in a wide range of dishes. They are a main staple in Southeast Asia. Don't be alarmed by the tree's potential size; it can be conveniently trimmed and managed to stay at a reasonable size for regular cultivation of its tender growth, and some people even grow them as potted patio plants. It is a decorative tree in its own right, growing to 80 feet in height and embellished with pinnate leaves that spring up in a fantastic bronze colour.

Growing Information

Grow Toona in a sheltered position in full sun. Toona enjoys a well drained, rich, fertile soil.

Sowing Information

Sow seeds in trays or pots of good quality compost around 5cm (2") apart in good quality compost all year round. Keep on a sunny windowsill or propagator at 18-21°C (64-70°F). When big enough to handle, transplant into individual 10cm (4") pots and grow on indoors. Plants can be overwintered indoors and planted out in the garden next spring if larger plants are required. Grow and harvest as a baby leaf all year round, or grow on in your garden and harvest new shoots in spring. Leaves can be harvested when there is a minimum of 4 true leaves.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.

Why Not Try This Instead

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
