there is a "fresh wasabi" site that sells rootstocks for growing your
own.

Is this the site you are talking about?

I've thought about getting some and/or trying to grow it.

Scott, I tried growing some last year. It was growing beautifully in the
shade, getting big, lots of nice dark green leaves. Then, I went out one
morning and some @#$$$%^&* critter had dug it up! I don't know if it was
ground squirells, possums or what. I tried re-potting it, but it never came
back. So besides the growing instructions, I would recommend that you
'critter-proof' the growing area. Funny, they haven't done this to any of
the other asian plants we grow.

Thanks Nick,

I'll give it a shot and make sure to critter proof the area. I've got a
nice shady area in my lanai that I think I can duplicate the conditions
fairly well in and that should keep the bad guys out as well. Who knows,
maybe I can become the local wasabi farmer. :^)
