TOPIC: My Ginseng Plants are 5 years old now

About 5 years ago I planted 5 lbs of seed in a great spot.

I went to the spot last night and dug about 6 plants to transplant to a different woods for an experiment. I was very happy to see how many there were and how big and healthy they were.

Here are a few pics from last night. These plants are only 5 years old or so. They are pretty big for their age due to the great soil quality.

And another pic.

And one more.

Nice looking plants there Latt.

I like to see em with those big broad leaves. Healthy and doing well.

I have some 5 year olds that are half that size.

Latt,
Horticulturally speaking;those dudes ought to be worth $15-20 a piece in those pots:huh:

Great looking plants. That must be some prime soil they're growing in.

Good Luck

Nice color. A seng hunter/grower's dream.

Latt,

Those are some really nice plants. Do you remember the seed source?

Very nice Latt

Thanks everyone.
Yes the soil is amazing. I have seng growing in other areas that were planted in the fall of 2007 that have roots and tops that are not half as big as these.

When I planted these about 5 years ago I bought seed from multiple sources. I drew a map and a few other spots of the seed I planted but have since lost it. Back then I kind of thought it might be important to know where the seng seed came from. However, if I knew then what i know now, I would have made sure I took better care of the darn map.

There were seed suppliers that I bought seed from in WI, MO, MD and OH. I cannot remember for the life of me which ones I put seed down from at the good spot. I just know I put seed from one at the top of the hill and one from another at the bottom of the hill.
Both suppliers seed did pretty good.

I know that's not much help now though.

Thanks,
Latt
