How to harvest wasabi – when to successfully crop the spicy roots and the greens

Fresh harvested and washed wasabi root.

Wasabi is a notoriously delicate plant to grow and get a harvest from. It may be tricky to get the ideal conditions just right and require a bit of care and patience to get a crop, but growing wasabi can be very satisfying when done correctly.
