Woods Grown Ginseng Market Report For the Season of '99!!

Seven Year old Woodsgrown Ginseng roots went for $90.00 to$130.00 per pound.   Five Year Old was bringing $40.00 per Pound. 
Eight to Ten Year Old Top Quality Woods Grown Ginseng Roots were Bringing Up To $280 Per Pound.  Wild Ginseng Roots were at $475.00 per pound.  It takes 70 to 75 dry roots to make a pound. 

Two Year Old Ginseng Roots For Replanting
Are On The Net Retailing at $976.50 Per Thousand Roots.  There Are Appo. 7,000 Seeds Per Pound.

Glacial Ginseng Co. Does Not Buy Wild Ginseng Roots, Except For Propagation. 

Glacial Ginseng Co.Will Buy Woods Grown Ginseng  Roots For Both The Export Market and Propagation (Replanting).  We  Will Buy Woods Grown and Wild Ginseng Seeds (Where Legal) To Blend In With Our "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds, As Usual.
We are always in the Market For Good Ginseng Seed and Will Pay a Premium on Second Generation and Older "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds.
There are Approximately 35,000 Ginseng seeds in our 5 pound "Glacial Gold" ginseng seed kit; the market figures to Approximately $4.00 per Seven Year Old Ginseng Plant; Plus You can be Selling "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds while Your "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Roots are Maturing. 

Ginseng Plants Start to Produce seeds in the Second Year.  If You Replant your Seeds the second, third and fourth year, you should realize 100 Percent Plus Germination Rate.  The Seed pods reach maturity in the Fourth Year and Bear 30 to 40 seeds per pod.  Think about it, use a paper and pencil so you get the decimal point in the right place. 

You should be realizing about 15 pounds of ginseng seed back in 4 years for each pound of "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seed planted, and about 10 pounds of ginseng roots in 7 years for each pound of seed planted.  If you take care of your plants you might do twice that.

What we are starting to see here is a Strong Acceptance of the woodsgrown ginseng roots by the export market.  The export market looks at the appearance of the Ginseng root first.    Small roots are much more desirable, plant your ginseng seeds close, this will encourage small roots and intertwined roots.

Suggested Starting Planting Rate is One Pound of "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds Per Acre of Woods. 
Start Slow, Plant in Several Different Spots, Until You Get The Feel of Where The Light Is Right in The Woods For Growing Ginseng.
You can Plant as much as 100 pounds per Acre, However, I recommend About 40 Pounds of seed per Acre.
Further Instructions are in The "Ginseng Growers Guide" by Michael Hunter.

We guarantee no dried out hulls.  The hull is what the embryo feeds on as it develops.

The seeds that we have for this spring's planting are just some of the most outstanding  ginseng seeds that I’ve had the opportunity to handle.
We’ve been working on a new stratification process over here, kind of a spin off on the work that we’ve been doing on growing ginseng south of the equator. We know that ginseng has an 18 month germination period, creating the necessity to stratify these seeds for one year prior to planting. The key to the germination is abrupt temperature changes such as you would find at the spring of the year under natural conditions. As the snow starts to melt in the spring, radically changing temperatures triggers the germination of the seeds.

We Here At Glacial Ginseng Co. Are Looking Forward To Many Years Of Pleasant Business With You.  If We Can Do Anything To Help You, Give Us A Call.
Michael Hunter Owner Glacial Ginseng Co.

Spring planting can bring maximum yields when planted Early. 
Ideal time is right after the first snow melt off, To The 15th of April. 
Ginseng Seed germination is triggered by the rapid and extreme temperature changes of spring.  Ginseng Seeds can be planted at any time during this period, as long as the ground is not frozen!

GROWER'S TIP:  Check Under The Snow, You Might Find That The Ground Is Not Frozen, In The Forest, The Snow Insulates It.

Spring Planting Time For Ginseng
Is From
Feb. 15th  to Apr. 15th

Allow 6 to 8 Weeks After Planting
