Wasabi - Eutrema japonicum- in its pot in the greenhouse, while it aclimates to its new home

All parts of Wasabi are edible, which allows for some tasting before the rhizomes mature! ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿชด 

I appreciate happening upon the channel 12 interview with Clint Taylor from OSU extension service, highlighting his work with the Wasabi farmers in Tillamook! 

Ooo - Oregon Wasabi? I ordered the same day! 

For those curious about growing conditions - yes! 
In Japan, Wasabi is traditionally grown on the banks of cool, clear streams!! 

In home gardens in the Willamette Valley, they do well in large pots with a 50/50 mix of growing medium (potting soil, coconut coir) and perlite or gravel! 

They like regular watering - but not standing water! They need air (hence the perlite or gravel in the Growing medium!)

A spot that's shady, and 40-70ยฐ F is their happy place!

Growing in a pot makes it easy to keep them in a shady spot, or bring them inside when temperatures drop. 

Have you tasted or grown real Wasabi?

Wasabi starts - Eutrema japonicum
They come as bareroot starts, in a 50/50 mix of coconut coir or potting mix and perlite, vehicle or small round gravel, ready to be planted out!

A perennial which doesn't go dormant, Wasabi has been broken in Japan over 10,000 years! 

All parts of the plant are tasty and edible, new starts can be taken from around the Central rhizome when you're ready to harvest (~ 18 -24 months.

2 Pink pots and 3 dark green, with potting mix and Wasabi starts. Oregon coast Wasabi planting guide on top of the pots in front

Eutrema japonicum

The pots are in the greenhouse, while  plants aclimate to our elevation and climate. 

Potting mdium is the recommended 50/50 mix of potting soil or coconut coir and gravel! I'm excited to watch them grow!

My Wasabi starts arrived from the coast, Since night temperatures are still iffy, I tucked pots in the unheated greenhouse.

I'm excited to grow true Wasabi - Eutrema japonicum!
