Overview
Everest, a Takii hybrid, is a tropical Chinese radish of the early white-neck type. Roots run 9 to 15 inches long and 2 to 2.5 inches wide (about 35 by 6 cm), white throughout, with a semi-tapered tip, and they stay firm because pithiness develops late. Maturity is around 55 days. It handles heat well and can be grown year-round in subtropical and tropical climates, though spring sowing in cool regions is not recommended. The roots turn sweet when cooked.
