F1 Tokyo Cross

F1 Tokyo Cross Turnip
An award-winning favourite that’s as easy to grow as it is delicious! F1 Tokyo Cross produces heavy crops of smooth, globe-shaped white roots with crisp, tender flesh and a mild, sweet flavour. Both the roots and green tops are packed with nutrients — perfect for roasting, mashing, or adding to hearty stews and casseroles. Quick to mature and great for baby veg too, this is a reliable all-round performer for any garden!

Harvest
Ready in just 6–8 weeks after planting, when roots are around tennis-ball size. Pick earlier for tender, bite-sized baby turnips.

Growing Instructions

• Spacing: Plant 30cm apart in firm but well-drained soil.

• Positioning: Choose a sunny, open spot for best growth.

• Watering: Keep well watered until established and during dry periods to maintain tender roots.

• Protection: Shield from cabbage white butterflies with fine mesh netting.

Top Tips

• Baby Veg Bonus: Harvest young for the sweetest flavour and crisp texture.

• Continuous Supply: Sow or plant every few weeks for a steady crop through the season.

• Leaf Power: Don’t waste the tops — the greens are delicious wilted in butter or added to soups.

• Soil Prep: Work in compost before planting to encourage smooth, uniform roots.

• Storage Tip: Store unwashed roots in a cool, dark place for several weeks of freshness.
