Aerial bulbils of garlic varies in weights and numbers with different varieties, but yield potential is known around 20 % of its bulb weight. To produce fresh leafy garlic in winter season, varietal difference, culture media and methods, planting dates were tested from 1986 to 1988. Between varieties, southern ecotype was more benificial than northern type which has deeper dormancy and less weights and numbers of bulbils. Harvest was possible in 20-30 days and harvesting time was flexible, since bulbils could be used as a vegetable nearly from germination to bulbing. Commercial production was possible without artificial heating and nutrient supply due to their adaptability in low temperature and enough nutrient in the storage organ.
