I planted Horseradish last year but I read differnet info on
harvesting. I read you can harvest in fall and overwinter in a
basement for early spring planting or harvest in early spring.

I opted for early spring since I don't have a basement and didn't want
to risk killing the roots. I want to harvest it now--although it is
growing quickly. I read you should harvest it when it is less than 8
inches high.

Do you harevst a particular part? Do you replant the tip and keep the
root closest to the top, or keep younger ends and replant the crown?

I just read that roots in the ground 2+years are stringy/woody. This
confused me. What do you do to prevent that if you harvest and
replant in Spring? Or does harvesting part of it avoid the
stirnginess?

I also read you should uncover and scrpae the roots once or twice
during the growing season to improve the quality. Anyone do that?
