Overview
Shogoin Globe is a round daikon with white roots and green shoulders, best pulled at about 6 inches across. Because the root develops largely above the soil surface, it copes with heavy clay that would stunt a long daikon. Flavor is mild, suited to simmering and pickling. Sow in late summer and keep watering steady as the globe swells.
