I love ginseng. Nice shot of those whitetails. I never get tired of seeing them.
Thanks Daryl the whitetail deer will be going into rut soon.
Thank you for counting the rings really clearly, with good camera work. I calculate the age the same way, but with some roots it can be hard to be 100% sure, so it is helpful to see how you are doing it. It is usually a mark closest to the root, or closest to the stalk, that is hard to be sure about. The rings in between seem to be better defined. I hope that you had a good season. My seed bed was productive this year, with all the rain and good drainage.
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the lesson. I've been finding this plant and wanted to do right by it. I check on them regularly now. I want to know how to take care of it now.
Just leave it alone and watch it grow thanks for sharing my friend.
Needs no care.
@@Robinson-Homestead well, several times I've cleared dead fall from the spots I knew the plant was located in. A tree literally fell on top of a patch and destroyed them. Cleared it all away and made sure the plant had what it needed to keep going for the next year's to come.
Very nice introduced about ginseng plant .thankyou .
thank you for watching
I so wish we had it up here. Thanks Kevin. I have heard a fella can make some serious pocket change eh.
It's not worth really that much the price will be up until you take it in then it's down makes good tea.
Hell yeah buddy I love ginseng hunting and I love teaching Young people on how to find and locate ginseng or yellow root oh yeah and mushroom hunting I hunt down here in Waverly Ohio it's pretty good here but I just have not found my honey hole yet LOL and I just wanted to say that I love all your videos that you post I just need to get me a better digger then what I'm using I have been using this flat head screwdriver for about 12 years so far but it's doing the job so far lol and I'm looking forward to seeing more videos
Thank you for the nice comment Shane Yates.
Very cool....😎 👍 👊
Thank you Jamey.
Each year it grows it gains a new node on the root
Some years it stays dormant so the rings are only a ball park estimate of age
In the wild, Ginseng seeds only have a 2% survival rate. In the greenhouse, that goes up to 85%. Take 100 seeds, sprout 85, and then take them to the forest and plant them every time you go and hunt... Then you'll have more than you started with compared to 2% reseed rate.
Thanks for the information.
I love it in my tea winter time is here oh ya
Thanks for the comment Hillbilly bro.
I dug roots that weigh 2 ounces with huge curls that were 2 prongs. I've dug 3 prongs with small stalks that has roots bigger than some 4 prongs with much larger stalks. I believe the size of the stalk has nothing to do with the age of a root. I've seen it over and over in 25 years of digging.
Good point sir, thanks for watching.
I have genseng growing on my property.i look at it every year.there is 2 prongs that I have checked for 6 years that haven't changed
I have several big plants one in particular is a four prong one year and a5 prong the next then it will go back to a four.what iam saying is 4prongs go back to 3 prongs ii have seen3 prongs go back to 2 prongs. I guess you see what iam getting at I have seen a three prong. That weighed 13 and a half ounces I have dug 4 four prongs on 1 root same 3prongs .I have dug 37 five prongs in one year. One 9 prong only one I have ever seen 4 six prongs..
Thanks for watcing.
Very informative Kevin! Do you know how much it’s worth in your area? Thank you for sharing!
$200.00 to $500.00 per pound Paul thanks for the comment.
Frost...does not kill it. It goes into hibernation.
Thanks for the comment.
We don,t have it here in West Tenn.
Not good it's fun the hunt Danny.
Yes we do danny I dig it every year in west Tennessee
Yes
NONE OF US KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES IT LAYS DORMIT, WE CAN GET A GOOD ESTIMATE OF AGE,BUT ULTIMATELY WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY SEASONS IT DON'T COME UP,IVE DUG SOME GIANT ROOTS ATTACHED TO SUPER SMALL STALKS,OVER 15+YRS OLD,AND BIG OL TOPS ATTACHED TO SMALL ROOTS, BIG ROOTS DON'T NECESSARILY MEAN THERE THE OLDEST ROOTS,ALOT OF BIGGER ROOTS ARE YOUNGER, AND SMALL ROOTS ARE OLD,JUST NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU LOOK AT THE ROOTS, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO TELL,MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THE STALK DON'T MEAN ANYTHING, ITS WHATS ATTACHED TO EM,THAT ULTIMATELY MATTERS,SO MANY VARIABLES REGARDING THE WAY WE FIND IT.I LOOK FOR THAT DEEP DARK PURPLE COLOR IN THE STALK,ROUND MY MOUNTAINS THE MORE PURPLE IT RETAINS IN THE LENGTH OF THE STALK,THE BIGGER THE ROOTS ARE HERE.BUT THAT'S WHAT I'VE SEEN AND EXPERIENCED, ALL OF US APPROACH IT DIFFERENTLY,DIGGING RESPONSIBLY AND RESEEDING THE LAND AS YA GO IS THE #1 MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME✌
Thank you for the comment.
in alabama I have found a couple 1 oz roots and they only show maybe 15 to 20 years. Now I found several 6 to 12 gram roots that almost impossible to count the years. there so cluttered up. Scars will be curving and bends and another root will form and the scars will continue again. Talking well over 50 years old on a 7 gram root....i wonder if that's could make them more potent to be so small and so old?I wish I could post a picture.
