I can't believe I was absolutely captivated by this video. Amazing how it takes so long to grow and how carefully it must be harvested and replanted. Sure hope we can take care of this plant in the wild and not totally destroy it for the sake of the almighty dollar.

We had no idea how expensive ginseng was becoming. Your videos give you information where others do not. We appreciate your knowledge. Thank you.

I wish we all could live 200-300 years, it seems like there is just not enough time to grow all the plants we want and get really healthy 😊

Plants won’t make you more healthy if you get proper nutrition and have a healthy nervous system. They can help nudge you into a healthy state when you’re sick though. You need plenty of whole animal products for vigor (muscle meat, fish, oysters, liver, kidneys, thymus, connective tissue broth, egg yolks, etc). Things like ginseng are for when you have a suboptimal nervous system and maybe fatigue and can help nudge you out. Same for adaptogens and stress/anxiety.

My new favourite channel. Love listening to you share your knowledge about these plants & herbs.

I love this, so easy to continue it growing with this knowledge for future generations.

Thanks for sharing all your knowledge I love learning all this stuff 😊💕

Great advice on replanting. Thanks!

I planted half pound last year... The seeds where already stratified so fingers crossed I'll have some of my own for years to come!!

I'm the type I would like to do what you did and find the seed and then plant it since it's an endangered species. It would be great to be able to watch it flourish.

My grandfather cultivated ginseng. I’ve carried on his love for the plant. I don’t sell it either. I use it myself.

Hi Joe, You are an amazing library. I can't wait to go meet you in person. Much love and Light and Thank you for giving lots of love to Gaia. She loves your feet tickling her and planting her, helping her flourish. She loves us all so much. We are not here to work for corporations, we are here to work with Mother Gaia, for Mother Gaia, on Mother Gaia, observe her way and learn to live closely to her. I tell my students this all the time: "We exist because Mother Gaia enables us to exist and to live on her", I tell my students to never forget that. Sending you love and light, Donna F.

that soil looks amazing

I like to pop the seeds in my mouth to clean the pulp. One time i took a large cluster all at once and it was quite a rush of medicine! Kind of tingly. Can't wait to go back there. It was two years ago i first found the patch and started replanting. Last season I brought some other seed with me as well and planted some of them too. It's a rush finding them. Great video , liked and subbed

Wow! Great discovery this channel! :)

Good video. Would be worried if I thought people would try hunting it. They wont. Most have had the wild bred out of them, scared of the woods. Domesticated.

thanks...

I’ve learned neck can be replanted! It’s amazing news! I am gonna replant it after getting ginseng. Thanks a lot!

Taking care of the land. Beautiful.

I am a new subscriber and I love the information. I was happy to see the top replanted, but saddened and then angered by the government definition of "protecting" anything -- except the bottom line. WHY is everything bass-ackwards ?!?! Am I in " Bizarro World" ??? I would love to find a root for my own use for several chronic illnesses. I gather herbs for teas, and have a good variety. I live on 20 acres of mature mixed woods, but am not sure where to look or exactly what growing conditions they prefer. Also, what would they look like at this time of year? (May 20) Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 💕✝ Much Love and Many Blessings🌿🌼

*Canadian Ginseng. "American" Ginseng was first discovered in present-day Montreal(CANADA) in 1716 🙂

I like Joe.

is there a way to grow your own ginseng? I want to grow this!!!!

where in canada can you find ginseng?

I know this is an old video BUT doesnt it need those two tubers(?) you cut off for its over winter energy storage? Seems a bit late to harvest and replant it.

way cool thank you

Incredible human being

Yes sir , they don't come up every year sometimes they skip a year

It's been over 7 years, how's the plant doing?

when is best time to transplant

Your wisdom was well received.

He is old but sharp as a tack. Maybe he takes a lot of ginseng lol.

OMG!!! That knife in the opening scene...people have been killed by just s screwdriver when they carry it like that and slip. And Ginseng grows on steep slopes...If he makes a habit of carrying his knife like that, he must have an uncanny sense of balance!

My dad used ro take me out hunting seng before I was old enough to walk the woods. He gathered and sold more back in the 70's - 80's than you could haul in a pick up truck. One time, we stumbled across A 1 acre patch that some1 had to have gardened many years back and died or I don't know but it was thick over grown. We ended up with garbage bags full of root. Today, we'd be millionaires 😯

Not something to be proud of

I guess there’s no way to harvest the tuber without killing the plant. Is there anything you can do to continue encouraging propagation ?

Greetings from China ,I used to buy ginseng in Hong Kong from a brand called kaitai ,

Hold on. Wait a minute. The last part got to me. People always harvest it for the roots and it takes 7 years for it to get good. And it is illegal to save the plant. The berries in the other hand have some nutrient that the rest of the plant does not have and as the plant gets older you get more berries and harvesting the berry would not kill the plant. All of this means that the actual most valued thing on the plant is the berries. There can be a farm with them again

why rip it out of the ground?

the mini great sword hanging out his back pocket lmao

well yo don't wonna rush diggin up the root/he's taken he's time like he should

Where can you purchase viable seed to grow? I would love to just be able to watch it grow. I have a wooded area on my property that would be perfect for growing this. Like you, would have to probably fend off those scumbags.

Ginseng should be grown in a bioreactor to speed up growth time and an increase of beneficial compounds.

It want disappear. They said that for a long time.

Michael White sustainable wild harvesting , everyone should try to be as respectful as Joe

First thing I noticed is the way your carrying your knife in your back pocket!!! That's gonna leave a mark!!! And I've heard there's NO way to tell the age of a ginseng plant.. the neck only gives you a idea of its age.. I've found small 3prongs with huge roots and big 4prong with tiny roots.. always replant my small ones in same place.. along with the berries..I don't eat the coating tho I just squash the seed to open the cover... does the cover give ya energy or what? great video!! Always more to learn about mother nature!! Experience is the best teacher...

Hes wrong on transplanting and seeding. You can put the seeds in the freezer after they've dried for atleast 2 weeks and then plant them and they will come up. Ive been growing wild ginseng in the woods behind my house for the past 12 years.

Might be the most hunted plant in the world.

Cheers , Great content , but pardon me , from my own experience ingesting ginseng , it didn’t do anything for me , not that I could tell anything about , there are some energy concoctions that do have an energizing effect , not Red Bull or monster drinks , there’s some pure forms of caffeine that will wake you up .. in a hurry , but ginseng ? No ,

Its indagered its gonna dissapear,, one day. Like the chicapin. Its rare to see any more,,,,,

He is laughing at those digger who always count for max years in its neck, as he is cutting it off and replanting it back to the ground.
