11 Oct 14, Jeanie (South Africa - Dry summer sub-tropical climate): Hi everyone, I was also in the same situation searching for horseradish. I stay near Durbs, but on holiday in Cape Town. Walked into a shop/nursery called Staark Ayres, spoke to a lady called Channon, very helpful who within 2 days had one for me! So contact the company perhaps they can help you.......they had at least 3 plants there yesterday! Happy horseradish hunting! Jeanie

Replying to:

Margaret, I haven't found the perfect time, the size of the leaves don't tell me anything. Last week I did use some, just scraping away surrounding soil and seeing the thickness of the root helped, the root was fairly thick, about the same as two fingers plus a little more. Getting it out is the hard part, the roots go down a long way so I cut the amount I needed and replaced the soil. Be careful if you do this because the root is very strong, a serrated knife worked o.k
