Collapse ▲If you own mature hardwood forestland (or a nice wooded backyard) with a little slope, moist soil, and good drainage, ginseng may be a viable way to produce income from your underutilized woods. Western North Carolina has ideal growing conditions for this valuable forest medicinal plant. Ginseng can be a tricky plant to grow successfully and takes between 8-10 years to reach a size favored by the Asian markets to which it is exported. However, the market for ginseng is fairly stable and has averaged around $800 per dried pound over the last few years. Ginseng is a native forest plant whose roots have been traded in Appalachia for hundreds of years.
Wilkes County Cooperative Extension will be hosting a ginseng production workshop on September 26th at 1:30 p.m. at the WIlkes County Agricultural Center located at 416 Executive Dr., Wilkesboro, 28697.

Topics covered include:
