My Nan has 350 acres in northern Kentucky and I have family all over west Virginia. Birch river west Virginia is the ginseng capital and I have family all throughout there. I've been talking for years about a way to leave my children some type of legacy and I think this is it. Buy up seed with my extra money every year. Plant for the next 30 or 40 years and by the time I'm gone they'll have millions in ginseng to cash in and continue to cultivate and prosper off of for the rest of their lives. The more Investigating i do the more I'm interested in doing something with ginseng. Thanks for the video and all the information.

I remember as a child in Kentucky my father and grandfather going out and hunting "seng" It was a very important supplement to us making it. As a child I had no clue what a big deal it was. I remember it always being somewhere in our home.

You can develop these ginseng farms into tourist sites, to attract Asian people there to buy fresh ginsengs, which absolutely can bring you lots of money.

@@anselknight1866but if it grew everywhere, then it would just be another plant and would not have much value to it so I hate to say this to ya but it’s a good thing it doesn’t grow in Maine. But that doesn’t mean you can’t hunt it and profit from it. I know several folks from up north that save up their vacation time from work and will take 2-3 weeks of vacation during season and come to NC, Tennessee, Virginia, or WV and come hunt public lands if they don’t know any land owners in the area. You can still do very well if you do your research and know what your doing. The key tho is to respect the plant and respect the lands and if you do that and have a good spiritual connection, the ‘seng spirits will guide you to either rags or riches, just depends upon what your worthy of but they will definitely know and you can’t BS them so please, don’t embarrass one’s self by trying !! Lol 😂

Worked as an Arborist / Tree Climber in Appalachia, and Ginseng is still rampant out there in the mountains. Remember a few saturdays where were ahead on work and people just started foraging it. Apparently owner of the property jokingly asked if they had been picking his ginseng as we were leaving. Not a proud moment, but they actually had been.

I remember seeing it all of the time when I was a kid but that was 30 years ago I'm sure it's either gone or so overgrown you can't get to it because kids don't play out in the woods like we did, that place was like fern gully. I was out in the woods more hours than I was in the house smh lol. I still go wandering out in the woods but not as deep as when I was a kid. Wow the memories.

Appalachian outlaws Yes this is truly serious buissness although in certain States its still illegal to sale or export on the other hand there are States that have figured the best thing to do is replanting, as soon as its taken from the ground the seeds go in that same hole so it does seem better for the people n environment.

Great video i really enjoy this video I think that the problem with extinction can be solve by the farmers working together with the parks and recreation then create a program to replant in public areas parks national forest ones a year protected areas where poaching will be punished by law and rangers can keep on eye on it this will create some jobs and maintain the plant from extinction it will be part or a extension of the business for the grower and farmers and a way to maintain balance on nature

re seeding is what I always do each fall,I have a friend up the creek who brings me a big bag of seeds each year from his patch ,I plant them in the north of the mountain way back in these deep hollows at the steep of the mountain,where its good and shady on the sides of the ridges where the afternoon sun don't hit.my Great,Great Uncle was a timber crusier for the Va. Hardwood Lumber Co. and he had a patch of seng in the holler behind his house that was huge some of the plants was 7 feet tall.after he passed away his son-in law paid someone too dig it all up.

Robert Far I know this is an old tread from a year ago but I can still answer your question ginseng is not what you want for male libido you want some Longjack extract and you can get it at Amazon or some find retailers on internet and it's expensive more than $60 but you can't buy a cheap one it's expensive so do not buy a cheap one at least 50 to $60 the cost of it.You combine longjack with horny goat weed and that's what you want.
