Customer Reviews
The title says it all. Nothing ever came up.
So sorry to hear that! Without knowing the specific growing conditions, it's hard to say what happened - please reach out, so we can help troubleshoot or figure out if we need to issue a refund. Contact our customer service (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM Pacific Time) at either 800-626-0866 or info@territorialseed.com
These were delivered early March. When I opened the box they were extremely dry and shriveled. I got them planted straight away and nothing has happened. I sent a note to Territorial about this asking their advise and received no response. So very disappointing. I'm thinking of digging them up to see if they just rotted in the ground or if there might be some roots. Seriously horseradish is one of the easiest thing to grow. I just can believe that not one of the 5 root divisions (and they were tiny) grew.
Sounds like our customer service has been in contact and issued a refund. Sorry to hear the horseradish did not sprout.
I ordered early and waited for the advertised shipping date to arrive, and the roots arrived as scheduled. Planted them the next day. Several weeks later, only one sprouted. I contacted Territorial and they offered to replace the order when available and before it could ship, the rest popped up, looking healthy and growing well. Patience is a virtue but can't hardly wait for my prime rib with homemade horseradish sauce! Territorial stood behind their product with their 100% warranty - thankfully, I didn't need it.
Maybe a bit misleading picture up above. Showing top rhizomes starting to leaf, ready to plant. See above for advertisement, see below for what you’ll receive.
Our product photo showcases the harvested, cleaned up produce - just like we do for a tomato seed or broccoli seed, etc. We apologize if you felt it was misleading, that's definitely not our intention. Best of luck with your future horseradish harvests!
Armoracia rusticana Horseradish, believed to be a native of east-central Europe, was considered a drug before it became a condiment. This strong pepper root was used to quiet persistent coughs from influenza, stimulate the nervous system, and even cure scurvy. Modern science has identified a multitude of beneficial phytochemical and antioxidant compounds as well as minerals in the rhizomes. Plant this vigorous perennial crop for years of harvests.
Culture
This pungent, deep-rooted perennial is one of the easiest garden vegetables to grow. It prefers well-dug soil rich in organic matter. It also spreads easily, so you may want to isolate it. Apply 1-1 1/2 pounds of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 20 square feet. Mix the fertilizer into the top 3-4 inches of soil. Dig a shallow trench and place the roots in the trench horizontally, spacing them 1-2 feet apart and cover with 2 inches of soil. You'll harvest larger roots if the plants are kept well watered throughout the summer.
Insects & Diseases
None that we know of. Contact your county extension agent with specific questions.
Harvest & Storage
Dig the roots in the fall after the tops have frosted and replant some of the smaller roots. Harvest the larger roots for use in the kitchen. Store the harvested roots in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. Wash, trim, and grate. Add vinegar or lemon juice to keep the chopped root from turning brown.
