Thank you sir! The fact that you plant over 5k seeds a year gives much relief for the remaining wild populations. People like you will ensure that later generations can benefit from this miracle plant! Thanks again!
My papaw raised ginseng for over 50 years here on my property. He has past away and every oldtimer in town knows about his patch of ginseng. One of them offered me $1000 for the patch. I politely declined the offer. I dug 4 or 5 big 4-prongs and they all weighed over an ounce each. One of them weighed 3 1/2 ounces! It's really pretty when all the red berries are on them.
It takes 60 to 70 good mature roots when I say mature route 20 to 60 years old to make a dried pound dried pound of premium route what I’m talking about will go for 1000 to 1600 pound do you want that 60 year route for that 1600 pounds and that’s premium choice ginseng and since it was your grandpa’s Patch I’m sure it’s a very old one that’s why you’re fine and 3 1/2 ounce roit’s May I ask how much the 3 1/2 ounce root weighed once it was dried
I still remember the first time I found Wild Ginseng. It was growing on the side of a ridge right next to my property. Ever since then it has been dug to near extirpation by trespassers. I have tried to re-plant the seeds, but every time they get going somebody comes in and steals it! Back when I found it, there were lots of big 3 and 4 prongers, with big seed pods, and lots of little plants around them. I have transplanted some of the younger plants in my yard, and they are still coming up each year. Whenever I find ginseng, I always wonder how long it has been there. Surely where you find really old ginseng, it has probably been growing there since the 1800's, without being discovered. I think this because some of the plants I found had 30 knots on the growth neck, so historically it has most likely always been in the area, especially where you find lots of really big mature plants.
All the woods around me have been logged heavily ..i been buying seeds online to repopulate this ginseng back into the woods on my family's property..After the logging company ruined our woods ..been in the business of growing simulated wild seng.. Good luck this year
Everyone need to take your words to heart don't dig it all it will just hurt your self in the long run one hill I got last year I topped off 160 plants and only dug 40
Can you pick the leaves before fall without harming the plant? Turns out the leaves and stems offer more benefits than the root does. Many scientific papers have been written about it but most people think only the root has value. But you have to time it right I guess cuz the plant sucks the nutrients outta the leaves before winter so taking them off early could jeopardize the health of the plant. Once the leaves are yellow though they don't have much left in them.
Far too many ginseng thieves. Wait until season and dig your own plants people. Digging ginseng out of season is a federal crime. Tresspassing is another crime. Any ginseng dug now will not amount to anything. All the weight and moisture is still in the plant.
@@blackjesus9687 My words EXACTLY... I spent my youth going it on our property and replanting every root I found.. Then I would take berries from my personal plants and re-seed back in places that had none trying to repopulate across the state....only to find out that when I was away that some A-hole dug all of it from my property... Would have love to caught that person. They would never have been found... THAT'S FOR SURE
@@daveltz1433 I can honestly say I'm one of the ones that does it cause I love to do it. Anymore, I look forward to ginseng season more than deer or turkey season. I'm pretty lucky though that not many guys are into it around me so there is less chance of people poaching but there are a few meth heads around that do it still
My husband has been digging ginseng for over 30 years. He buys and digs. He gives the best prices. We live in southern Ohio. $730 last year for a dry lb. $173 for a green lb.
How much you want? I dig every season. I dig a lot and my buyer don't want to pay me what it's worth. He said 800$ a lbs. Last season but if you can beat that you got yourself a lot of roots.
@@Alphabetizeist I average about 10 to 15 lbs dry per year. I have never sold on line. Last year my buyer gave me $720 per dry lbs. and $173 per lbs green.

Too many ginseng poachers for sure

I love finding it like that! What a rush!
When you digging ginseng.. You have to be careful. You want to save all the tiny roots that connects to it for best quality and resale.

All the poachers need is to look up from digging and have a double barrel staring at em. They may think twice after

Good job man great eye are you digging in tennessee?
Thanks. Noni am not in TN
Should save the leaves to dry out and make tea

Big ones for sure.
Whats the benefits of gensing?
The biggest benefit is it sells for 800 to 1100 a dry pound
medicinally i have found it incredibly useful more than any other herb
What is used for this plant
For those of you whom ask: "What is it used for." The easiest answer is: "Woodpecker, It puts wood in your pecker."
The reason it does that is because it opens up your arteries and increases blood flow throughout your body
Hello jason. can set me up with a buyer?
depending on where you live you can search a buyer via google
You have to sell it in the state you dig it
My husband has been digging ginseng for over 30 years. He buys and digs. He gives the best prices. We live in southern Ohio. $730 last year for a dry lb. $173 for a green lb.
