Hey Guys
I emailed Bob Befuss, to ask what his seed source was. Since all the seeds I have planted over the past 6 years have come from shade grown plants in Wisconsin( Hsu's Ginseng) I was curious to find out Bobs seeds were from cultavated plants also. I wanted to know, especially since he had gotten such a good price for his roots.
Here's what Bob said:
\"Hi Jeff
Most of my seeds come from field grown Canadian seed now, but those roots were grown from Field grown Wisconsin seed. The longer you can wait, the more valuable your wild simulated ginseng will be. Some people expect to harvest in five or six years but 9 years is much more realistic.

I know it has been asked before on this forum, Whether cultivated shade grown seeds will produce root as valuable as roots grown from woods grown seed?
I would say that the answer is yes!
