Saxa Short Top

Early maturing spring radish. Bright red, round to slightly elliptic bulbs. Smooth, glossy skin. Flesh is white with irregular red flecks. Short tops. Good flavor, moderately pungent. Acquired by SSE from Thompson & Morgan. CV Tho offered it from 1987-1989, but SSE staff have been unable to locate development or release information on this variety, and do not know when it was introduced to the US seed trade. According to SSE’s GSI publications, this variety is a synonym of “Saxa,” which has been consistently available in the US since at least 1981. SSE Accession # 118630
