Here is the pic. This pic is about 12 years old. This seed ball looks pretty big to me. Would love to have a perennial bed full of these big seng plants.

Awesome pic Latt...send my complements to the grower!

Actually, I have grown them in shade gardens and they do look great along with some other woodland botanicals. I had a picture (might still be on my site somewhere) of a big one I grew beside my porch when I lived in town. It was a fully western full sun exposure....shaded by cinnamon ferns.

You won't regret doing that. It will also make you a better sang hunter when you see the plants every day or so throughout the summer. You will start recognizing them by their shape and foliage more than the berries and stems.

I am also doing a bed of full blown cultivated starting this year. Going to see if I can get three prongs and full berries by the third year like the commercial guys do.

Yep, super nice
It really puts it into perspective when you compare it to the porch light behind her.

For sure K_duce. Didn't even see the porch light but you are right.

BCastle I hunt by shape all the time. I think all of us old timers do. Can spot it in a patch of almost anything when hunting by shape. I have even scanned a bunch of different woodland plants and looked away and taken a few steps only to have my brain stop me and and it just clicks and says \"Hey dude there is a seng plant in there that you didn't see\" and there it is.
I know you guys can relate to what I am saying that have hunted for a long time.
You guys see seng at night when you close your eyes when you go to bed to go to sleep after hunting all day? I do.

I hunt by shape when at the beach in the summer as well... LOL.... I know what you mean about looking by shape in the woods as well!

Just had an odd thought fellas. Can't wait till my seng is ready to harvest in 8 to 12 years. The sooner that day comes the better. However, the sooner that day comes the sooner I'll be an old man. lol

I here ya, Latt. This is the only thing I've ever done that has made me wish my life away.
