If the root curl is pinched off with plant attached and replanted they will live and grow new roots. I always do and it survives 85-90% of the time.

I love how you pass the smaller , young plants up. Ive never dug seng but I am a forestry grad and was born with two green thumbs. The only way to get marketable roots obviously is to pass on the young. Really letting at least some drop berries is the way to sustain ginseng. Im sure there are diggers that take every plant and when this happens over and over Ginseng cannot survive. It takes diggers like this man to sustain marketable roots. What he says about planting is a must. Burying the seeds will kill them as they are designed to just he covered by leaves ( litter layer).

Kevin, thank you for your videos, I really enjoy them. What impresses me the most about you is your ethics's. leaving the young three prongs behind allowing them to grow and seed is rare. The first year I dug Ginseng, I dug every three prong I saw not caring about the size. However, after I got home, cleaned them up, and saw the roots in a pile with not much size to any of them, I had an "awaking" moment. I have since then adopted this way of management. Looking at the thickness of the stalk, the size of the leaves, and even the length and size of the berry pod shoot helps me to determine whether or not I am going to dig the root. I even use this method on four prongs. People believe that a four prong is automatically a big root, however, I have found that not to be true in every case. So with all that said, I believe your doing a great thing. Concerning your comment about using deer trails, I live in the northwest corner of North Carolina and just did a late season hunt (10/4/17) on a piece of property that I have never hunted before. Not knowing the land, I first located some companion plants and then found the closest deer trail. Within minutes I hit pay dirt. I did this with multiple deer trails on the same piece of land and found ginseng on almost everyone. So yes here in North Carolina, deer trails also are a great way to locate plants. Again, thank you for videos and great sustainable practices. Good digging and God speed.

will never grow again in the same spot, better if animal eats the berries and moves the seeds, it self poisons the ground so no other ginseng can ever grow in that spot ever again, the seed must then go through 2 winters before it will sprout.This is why it is so easy to wipe out a patch and so hard to farm the stuff.You need new ground to plant every planting and needs to grow in the forest shade in the right leaf matter. So it would be better if you popped the berries , 2 seeds in each one and plant a bit away just 1/2" deep. You must help keep them going because that fallen seed must wash away in the rain and fins=d a new spot to grow. By not spreading the seed you break the harvesting law in our state. Rich

@@Robinson-Homestead I recently found some plants on my property along a deer trail that have the exact same cluster of red berries, but the leaves are smooth instead of jagged edged, and they only have three leaves on each stalk instead of five. Could this be a variant, or immature plants... or something altogether different? I cant find anything on the internet about a three leafed plant that looks like the ginseng with the same structure and the same red berry cluster in the middle of the stalks. Are you aware of any?

@False Flag This is smaller than red baneberry, but I dug the roots up, and it isnt ginseng. I cant find out what it is anywhere. It looks just like ginseng, except it has three leaves on each stalk on either side of the small berry cluster. It grows around the same plants as ginseng, and something seems to like chewing on the leaves. Cant figure it out. A mystery to me.
