Hello Daisy, I need horseradish root for purpose of making a tonic. I could do with about 1-2 Kg. Can you assist ? I inquired with Gardenate, and followed up on your comment. I live in Midrand, betweenJjoburg and Pretoria. Thanks. Sincerely, Mike Habib

I bought the Horseradish cuttings from eBay. They were sent from Springvale in Melbourne. Fast and easy and they all took off
