"White Icicle" isn't a Daikon, but they can get about a foot long under the right conditions. I've had some that I let go for edible pods get that large... but they get pithy & hollow inside, unlike Daikons. They are my favorite salad radish, though, and as mentioned, a good one for pods.

Ah, you are correct and I was mistaken. I did in fact plant Daikon but I planted White Miyashige. For some reason I remember reading something about White Icicle Daikon and assumed that's what I'd planted.

Sorry!

In any event, the White Miyashige Daikon are very easy to grow and very tasty. Highly recommended!

Miyashig is a favorite of mine. I also planted chinese "daikon" type radish (winter radish) that grew HUGE and were as tasty as the Daikon (but about 4lbs larger each). We had some tonight sauteed with cabbage. They are fantastic in soups and sweeten a soup like a rutabaga does. I also cook them and mash them with a little butter and salt (or sesame oil). So good and so versatile. The greens I use to make a mock watercress soup. They are "cut and come again" for the greens so I find these radishes to be a staple winter crop for us.
