Cool! I would like to plant some one day. I love to grow things that people tell me Ill regret because it spreads too much or will be impossible to get rid of. How are those bad things??

Well they haven't sprouted yet but I hope they are wrong about them being that invasive because I haven't that much garden to begin with I wouldn't want it overrun.

Spring I don't know the difference between wasabi and horseradish. I don't think I've ever run into wasabi.

I think the wasabi we see commonly with sushi is a horseradish based condiment. But Ive heard that the "REAL" wasabi in Japan is made from some kind of sea vegetable.....or fruit.....ok, dont quote me on that

Thank goodness for google! It's a rihozome! Neat.

TK: Yes Im pretty sure it's invasive, more in the way that the root grows really really long and will keep coming up even if you try to dig it out. It's one of those things they suggest planting in a sunken barrel or bucket and giving it it's own special area. But again, not a bad thing if you love horseradish!
