I saw ginseng growing in a state park in northeast MS years ago, so it could be on your land too. The University of Mississippi herbarium has several records of ginseng from Union, Tishomingo, and Tippah counties.

It say it is in my county.I went around looking on my land to see if I seen any that might be sprouting up.I seen a lot of plants that looked like what ive seen in picture.I dug one up to see what the roots looked like and it was to be a finger like root.I planted it back just in case it was.Is there any plants that resemble ginseng?

im in franklin county and suspect I have it on my property, seen it when it carried berrys but never picked. unless theres another species of plant looking exactly like seng and carrying same berries. i'm in the sw part of the state but have heard it was seen sw of me in a another close by county. found it on a north facing spot, land broken up in area, a lot of up and down walking. shady place out of direct sunlight. there was quite abit poking up carrying the berries. washout a few feet away from slope carrying water. berrys caught my eye, strange red clumps in a greened up area. zeroed in on it to see what it was, pulled leaves and came here to identify. sure looked like it by what others here have posted, guess I would need to dig a root up. we've had this property for 40 years. I have not heard of anyone in the proximity digging seng, all private property around me for those 40 years. I,ve heard from a local it can be found in homochitto national forest only about 4 or 5 miles as the crow flies from me

have a question also, does miss have a season to harvest? and if so when is it harvested?

Well,what I thought might be ginseng.was buckeye saplings.I thought I hit the jackpot,until I did some research.They look very similar.

Keep looking. Try to identify wild ginger or black / blue cohosh. These are a couple of companion plants to ginseng.

Before anybody digs any ginseng and post pictures of it on this site, make darn sure your state belongs to the ginseng program. If not, you could find yourself in real hot water.; Ok to take pictures of the plant you suspect is ginseng and post the pictures.
