Detailed Information
While the ‘German Giant’ radish is a cultivar, and therefore doesn’t have a “native” region in the strictest sense, radishes in general ( *Raphanus sativus*) originated in **Asia**, specifically believed to be the region around **China and Central Asia**.
Therefore, even though ‘German Giant’ is a modern cultivar likely developed in Europe (given the name), the ancestral roots of the plant lie in Asia.
