Growing Horseradish

View the Horseradish page

31 May 25 Vicki (USA - Zone 10a climate)
I've read conflicting answers as to growing horseradish in zone 10a. It's true that Florida has awful soil, especially close to the west coast. I love horseradish and it's hard to find the real pungent horseradish in the stores. Can i place a 5 gallon bucket in the ground and fill it with good soil and plant the horseradish in like November and let it grow till the end of February, after our frost warnings before harvesting? Winters here are fairly dry, so root rot shouldn't be a problem, and the months of December through the beginning of February are cooler with temps staying primarily in the 50°-60° range during the days and 40°'s overnight. Some frost may occasionally occur.
