Neglected Horseradish

[greenthumbomaha]

I didn't want to step on my strawberry patch to pick so I just admired this from far.

I planted this root well over 5 years ago and never harvested it. It looked extremely woody before it leafed out. It takes up the entire bed by the end of the season.

Will it be edible, and will I be able to dig this out without a subsequent call to 911.

The raspberries make access difficult too.
