Remember when harvesting ginseng, please be a good steward of ginseng.
? Get permission to harvest.
? Only harvest plants that have 3 prongs or are at least 5 years of age.
? Only dig plants with red berries
? Plant berries within fifty feet of where you dug the root with your finger in ? to 1 inch
of soil.
? Leave some mature plants for the future.
? If young plants come up when digging a larger root, plant them back into the same
spot.
