How much cold can wasabi tolerate? #225895

Asked January 28, 2015, 10:36 AM EST

I live in the Finger Lakes region of New York state and would like to try growing wasabi.  I have a small spring-fed stream with hardwood tree cover.  My only concern is how cold our winters get.  Is there any data on the range of acceptable winter temperatures?  Are there any wasabi varieties that can handle colder temperatures?  Any cultivation practices to deal with the cold?  Thanks
