Wanted Horse Raddish

I am looking for horse raddish for sase if anyone has it. I do have a piece of red canna I can trade.

I will gladly give you a root start of my horseradish....as long as you don't hold me responsible when it takes over your yard your flower beds, etc etc etc. LOL
I planted a small start 10 years ago, and if allowed it would now be my back lawn. :-)
I will email you my address.....just send me a SASE for around $1.50 and I'll get it off to you asap.

The above post is in the same vein as me. I was going to ask ...are you sure you want some horseradish?

I realize you say it's invasive. Do ya think it would grow in Fla? I like horseradish to eat.

Hard to say. Probably. Do a Google search and or check with a local nursery to be sure.

Thanks Riker, sure doesn't look like it will grow here. Oh well......

Yes, I do want some. My Sister has a large area that she is going to plant it for me.

I pulled out 4 or 5 babies for each of you this morning. The all have healthy roots and wonderful new green growth.
Now I'm sending you small starts, but never fear these will grow QUICKLY. You can feel very comfortable harvesting some of the root in September. Any and all peices of root left in the grown will sprout into new plants.
Wash the harvested root, scrub it cleanish with a firm brush, grind, mix in a bit of vinegar, and enjoy :-)

Sorry Molly :-(
But don't feel bad....you get to grow orchids in your yard,
I can't :-)

Molly, do yourself a favor and put them in their own separate pots or raised bed - they are wonderful to eat but boy are they invasive! A friend of mine owns a local company called "Jim & Lotties" - a horseradish business. You see their product in alot of stores here. He gives me all the horseradish I want, so thank goodness I don't have to plant any!

I would love some too if you have any left to share :) I have heard that it does well in a big pot buried in the ground - that way it can't spread.

busy_bee you have mail.

or make a raised bed

Rikerbear, I have an area in my 7 acres that needs something invasive,how much postage would you like for some roots???
My Grandmother always grew her own and I miss that great taste.

Sorry Annabelle no more Horse radish trades right now. maybe later in the year when more runners sprout up. I'll keep you in my 'pending' file and get back to you when I know more of what I still have.

i never found it to be invasive in my yard it stays in it's own little place. when i started mine i went to the grocery store and bought a few pieces and cut them each into 4 then stuck them in the ground and they grew

Trot. I'll give it a try. thanks
