Giant radish in intensive care
09:08am 18th November 2005

A giant white radish that won the hearts of a Japanese town by valiantly growing through the urban asphalt is in intensive care at a town hall in western Japan after being slashed by an unknown assailant.

The "daikon" radish, shaped like a giant carrot, first made the news months ago when it was noticed poking up through asphalt along a roadside in the town of Aioi.

This week local residents, who had nicknamed the vegetable "Gutsy Radish", were shocked - and in some cases moved to tears - when they found it had been decapitated.
