I thought these roots were highly sought after? here In TN people search for them like a hidden treasure! Id be afraid to plant it..id wake up next morning to it gone! the root is paid well for here!
Wisconsin and Michigan Ginseng were world prizes and people got harvesters licenses from all over. It was not unusual with q 15 year root to make $15,000 Those days are over as the Asian Markets that prized this figured out how to grow these finest of the fine herbs and do so to this day. Still prized but not like before!
