Freeze fennel?

Does it need to be blanched first!
Or. how do I freeze it!

Thanks.

Use fresh young stalks. Wash thoroughly. Blanch 3 minutes. Chill in iced water 3 minutes. Drain, pack in freezer bags and remove air. Keeps up to 6 months.

Oh that's easy!I guess the root sliced up will be okay with this method too!
