Just a hint if your looking for Daikon seeds. I purchased a pack under the name Daikon in Bunnings with about 20 seeds in it, it was marketed as an exotic species and so the price was high. But if you look for 'white radish' seeds (check the botanical name is exactly the same as the ones labled 'Daikon') you can get 5 times the amount of seeds for half the price.

I have the same issue with daikon radish. Is anyone able to answer this? It doesn't look like rot or bacterial infection to me. Is it still edible?

I tried growing daikon from seed during winter but it did not grow. Would you plant the seeds into a seedling tray first or into the soil?

Daikon don't transplant well, but you could grow them in seed tubes so they can be transplanted without any disturbance. The ground might have been too cold for them to germinate over winter. They are often planted in summer/autumn in cold regions.

I planted daikon radish but the plants flowered. I have not harvested any. Someone said that the seeds I used are not pure. It is a DT Brown packet.

I too have planted daikon which have grown about a metre high and flowered but the radishes are only about 5 cm long and 1cm wide. Should I prune the leaves?

Planted these in early May on the sunshine coast and got several large (15 cm diameter 40 cm long) radishes harvested in October. They seem to be very susceptible to tight soil i that will cause them to stunt as the ones in the bed with looser soil were much larger. Good sun exposure is a must or they will reach for the sun and grow twisted.

I'm in Melbourne and I bought daikon seeds from Ceres in Brunswick East.
