Japanese Radish 'Sakurajima'

  • Product number: 237210
  • Origin: Asia
  • Latin: Raphanus sativus

If you want to grow a radish the size of a watermelon, plant this Japanese giant! They are tastiest when about 10 cm in diameter, but of course, growing tubers weighing 10-50 kg is a challenge. The quality is unexpectedly good for a giant vegetable! The almost round, white tubers are solid, firm, and crispy with excellent flavor. They can be stored for several months. Growing them in a greenhouse produces the largest specimens. You will also be amazed by the beautiful, elongated foliage.

Latin: Raphanus sativus
