11 Mar 12, MIke (Australia - cool/mountain climate): Yes, ours certainly seems to be stronger after a second year but the roots are very spindly and they are not easy to peel. Any tips on growing a thicker root? However, to make the sauce and not being too keen on hand grating, I first grated the root with the food processor. This gave thin matchsticks but also lots of lumps, then I added some vinegar and used the chopper to cut it finer and it worked well. I also added some hot mustard to give it a bit more zing.

23 Jan 12, Jen (Australia - cool/mountain climate): Hello Brian, I would say yes, as I have mine planted in a big 42 cm wide pot but did not move it into "winter quarters" as I do with my Kaffir Lime potted tree, it showed no damage over the years, Happy gardening Jen
