Raphanus sativus
Green-shouldered white skin, lime green flesh. (55 days) Open pollinated.

Unique miniature daikon radish with striking lime-green flesh grows 6–9" long and 1–3" wide. The above-ground exposed shoulders turn a deep green while the tips remain white. Fine-grained, crisp and sweet. Fedco Staffer Clayton says it has a “distinct green-apple flavor.” Used in Asia for salads, cooking and pickling. David Nonnenmacher suggests trying a slice on homemade bread slathered with butter. Green Meat and Misato Rose keep in his root cellar until May.

Additional Information

Radishes

Days to maturity are from date of seeding

Culture: Summer radishes may be sown almost as soon as the ground can be worked. Minimum germination soil temperature 40°, optimal range 55–85°. They emerge rapidly and grow quickly. Sow 1–2" apart, and thin to at least 2" for attractive uniform roots. Use row cover (p. 144) to protect from flea beetles. They develop more pungency in dry heat than in cool moist weather. Ready for harvest at about the size of a quarter and will rapidly get woody if allowed to grow much larger.

Disease: FY: Fusarium Yellows

Note: We cannot ship packets greater than ½ oz. (14 grams) of radishes into the Willamette Valley. The State of Oregon prohibits shipping any commercial quantity of untreated Brassica, Raphanus or Sinapis due to quarantine

Daikon Radishes

About 2,900-3,000 seeds/oz.

Daikon means ‘big root’ in Japanese. Can be stored in the root cellar like carrots and beets in slightly moistened sand or layered into damp raked leaves.
