Radish variety Cherriet (F1)
Cherriet is a hybrid of early maturing radish of Japanese selection. Obtained by employees of Sakata Seed Corporation, Yokohama. Added to the state register of varieties of the Russian Federation in 2007. Approved for cultivation throughout Russia. Designed for cultivation in the open and protected ground of personal subsidiary plots.
Due to the resistance of this radish to flowering (shooting), it can be used as a year-round crop. But it manifests itself best of all in the fall in temperate climates.
Sowing in open ground can be carried out from early spring. The period from the emergence of mass shoots to the onset of technical ripeness is only 18 - 20 days.
The leaf rosette is semi-erect, short and durable. The leaves are narrow, obovate, grayish-green in color. Petiole with strong anthocyanin bloom.
Root crops are leveled, large (3 - 6 cm in diameter), rounded with a convex head, deep red in color. The pulp is white, tender, juicy, crunchy, without bitterness. The mass of a commercial root crop is 25 - 30 grams. Productivity 2.5 - 3.5 kg / sq. meter.
Cherryet radish is characterized by its resistance to void formation. Even root crops not harvested on time do not form voids and do not lose moisture.
Table variety, with a slightly spicy taste. The taste is excellent. The harvested crop retains its presentation for a long time.
Advantages of the Cherryet hybrid: the roots do not flab for a long time, high taste properties, resistance to shooting, versatility, early maturity, high yield, a huge number of positive reviews from gardeners.
I experimented with this hybrid that year and was satisfied with the yield. Of course, as written in the description, I did not receive 3 kg of roots, but radishes really grow large with good watering. If the root crop is cut, then there is no emptiness, as is the case with many varieties, very juicy in taste, has an average bitterness. As for the rapid ripening at 18 days, I have an average of 30 days, and the radishes are 4-5 cm. But the roots after 18 days were 1-2 cm. The first planting is carried out even with slight frosts in the greenhouse, where the temperature is suitable. After warming in open ground. I didn't land in the summer, so I can't say anything about shooting.
