No, they bear a superficial resemblance, but are quite distinct. Both the same species, but Daikons were developed in East Asia - Japan, Korea, China. White Icicle is a European type. Different in terms of the crop cycle -- European types are super quick, usually 20-30 days for most of them. Daikons can be as long as 70-80 days. Also a big difference in size - your average European radish is an inch or two across, maybe 3-4 inches long for the icicle shaped ones when at edible size. I think the world record Asian type radish is 68 1/2 lbs. Daikon is only one type of Asian radish -- there are long ones, round ones, short ones, etc, just as with the European type. You mentioned that your white icicles are a foot long -- I could see them doing that in good conditions, but I don't know if the quality would be good at that point -- they get awfully spongy when overgrown. Daikons generally avoid this fate for a long, long time, until they're in bloom.

Hi, AM! I have some Sungold F1s from Scheeper's Kitchen Garden Seeds that I haven't even opened yet, just received them last week. They're waiting for start-time! Can you afford a trade of about five of my SG F1s for five of your Sungold Select IIs? I'd like to compare them, too, and save them if they're just as good.
