Talk:Sakurajima radish

Wrong name
Google ngram isn't much help but "Sakurajima radish" trounces "Sakurajima daikon"/"Sakurajima-Daikon"/"Sakurajima Daikon" at Scholar ( & ) and Books ( & ). Vanilla Google is wildly inaccurate for terms like this&mdash;sometimes the numbers at the top will seem to strongly favor "SD" but actually clicking over to the end of the results leaves them almost equal ( & ), with SD's edge entirely made up of Wiki-copying bot pages &c. "Sakurajima" (tout suite) & "giant white radish" probably outnumber either but can be avoided on the grounds of clarity and scope.

We're also using the wrong scientific name. This is now classed as a separate cultivar of radish from standard 'white-carrot' daikon. — Llywelyn II   05:46, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
