If anyone is wanting Horse Raddish then Morrisons are selling cling
film wraped roots which will propagate well, I bought one around 4
weeks ago and now have 14 very healthy young plants comming along.

Is that a euphemism for "keep it away from anything important?"

What do you do with it?
Chop it up and stick it in the ground?

Out of interest, is that based on your experience? Umpteen years ago I
dug up some horseradish and tried to grow it some in pots. It didn't do
at all well. Maybe it was too dry.

I can't say that I've seen it when walking in the country. Its large
leaves are very noticeable; I doubt that I'd miss it or think it was
something else.

I know someone reclaiming an historic house derelict walled garden. The
Horse Radish held its own against pigs, pheasant pens, brambles, nettles
and other invasive weeds for more than half a century. Roots are as
thick as my arm and seem to go down to the Antipodes.

They have found several very old pear varieties and a mulberry tree too!

Incidentally anyone have any tips for dealing with well established
peach leaf curl on a century old (ie huge) peach tree?

Spray the tree with very dilute copper sulphate and then spray it with
water and then do your best to keep it dry for a week or two. The
copper sulphate kills the fungus but can do more harm than good so
wash it off as soon as you can. Keeping a huge tree dry for a week or
two could be a challenge at this time of year.

Once established, on a par with knotweed!
Looks a bit like dock leaves. Roots are quite different.
Tiniest bit of root will grown in my experience.
