Is there actually any chemical difference between wild and domestically grown ginseng? If you were using the ginseng for yourself, would it matter how it was grown? Keith

Never got around to it. All I can remember is they like a more acid soil, but decent amount of calcium, but not to use lime, instead side dress with gypsum as it won't raise the Ph.....YMMV....

Kinda what happens when sitting in a deer stand all day and not seeing deer, that twig/bush starts looking a lot like a deer the longer you stare at it. After that ginseng show, Appalachian Outlaws, a few years ago, there was a splurge of neophyte ginseng treasure hunters roaming the woods.

The stem goes up the prongs come off the stem. The 5 leaves come off the top of the prong with the seed cluster shooting straight up between the prongs and stem . Have you ever noticed how flat the leaves lay compared to the ground or that’s how I describe that aspect of ginseng also

Wild or woodsgrown roots are all gnarled and twisted and worth a lot more than cultivated. Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

Also the second year for my first patches and wanting to see their growth this year. Will probably transplant some of the 2 yr olds this fall in areas where they came up thick.
