Conditioning Weizen

[DaleJ]

What's a sufficient conditioning period for a dunkelweizen (kegged)?

a week? two?

Pretty much once it's carbed it's good to go. So the usual 2-3 weeks I'd say (assuming you made to average strength).

Does the green taste go away quicker due to the wheat?

Dunkelweizen and hefeweizen are best young, it's just part of the flavour. But if you give it 3 weeks to carbonate that will be plenty of time for any green flavours to mellow.
