how to tell difference between male & female plants

May 9, 2017A.It makes no difference if the plants are male or female, both are edible.
In my research I can't find any image or distinguishing characteristics that would help you tell the difference between the 2 plants.

Can you eat the root of horseradish if the leaves have been sprayed with weedkiller

May 27, 2017A.I would check the labels of the product that you have used.
Only with the chemical formulation can you determine the safety of the food.If you have any question, I would not consume the food.

October 5, 2017Q.Growing the best Horseradish roots
Amy Grant wrote a very good article on this topic. But I didn't fully understand what she meant by "stripping" the roots. Especially when she got to the part where she "returned the root to its hole". In reading her I had thought the root stayed in the hole all through the stripping. So obviously I didn't understand this point. Could Amy clarify this please. Jack

Certified ExpertA.There is really nothing to do to help them to come back faster, but they may recover on their own. You may need to put a cage around these, or put these somewhere that pests cannot get to them.
