Completely unique radish variety native to South East Asia. Praised for its many tender, crisp, bright green seed pods rather than its root. The plants are exceptionally easy to grow, and highly rewarding, too, producing oodles of lightly, spicy pods that can be compared to a pungent green bean! Pick pods when they are tender and young, about 13-15cm long. They can be eaten raw, cooked or even pickled. Matures in 50 days. This variety focuses on hyper-prolific seed pod production instead of the root. Specifically bred in such a manner that its cute light green seed pods absorb all the nutrients, it has sparse leaves and thin stems and stalks, making it floppy if lacking proper supports. The beautiful rose pink and white flowers typically attract lots of bees and butterflies, and typically turn into seed pods quickly. The seed pods themselves have little thin tails reminiscent of a rat’s, and taste much like a normal radish root, except with a much more intense flavour. Harvest in 50 days.
Planting: Year round in tropical climate; Plant 4-6 weeks before last frost, and succession plant every two weeks after if long harvest is desired.
Ensure that the radishes have a lattice to support them, as they will produce less seed pods if left dangling.
