A New Federal  Ginseng Law?

We have a  new Federal  Law  out this season that says that "Wild" ginseng roots have to be at least 5 year old to be harvested?   There are a lot of rumors going around about this new law, but We can not seem to find any facts.  If anyone has the new Law and would email us I will publish it in a Special Edition of the Panax Newsletter and on the web site.

First You Do Not want to judge by the number of Stems on the plant.  I have seen many three stem 20 to 40 year old ginseng plants.  Some ginseng plants just do not develop a four stem.  A prime example is the picture of my father holding a three stem wild ginseng plant.  This picture is at the top of our home page.  www.ginseng-seed.com
Well, how  do you tell if a Ginseng Plant is  5 years old?  It is generally assumed in the 5th. year, they start to develop a rizone, a nubbin, or a neck, up at the top of the plants.  There is a picture of this on our web page.  After the 5th year, you can see that it's very pronounced and if the growers out there in the field will take a look , all he's got to do is clean  the dirt back around the stem to see if the rezone has started to develop.  If it started to develop a neck, they say 5 years, but it sometimes takes 6 or 7 years for that first notch, there should be at least one nubbin or growth ring above that rizone. You should be able to just flick the dirt back and it should be pronounced.  Our dealers should be consciously aware of this new Federal  Law and so should the harvesters.   If it's got a nubbin up there and got the start of a neck to it, then the ginseng plant is old enough to harvest.  If it isn't there, Don't buy them.  This Federal Law can be fairly serious about that.  Give these plants a chance to kind of re-establish themselves.  Pay a little attention to the seeds, they may not be big enough to harvest, but pick the seeds and get them growing back in their Natural Environment.  I'd love to buy some of these wild ginseng seeds where it's legal.  I realize you can't harvest them in Wisconsin but, a lot of the other States can harvest wild ginseng seeds and I'm definitely in the market for them.  We are always in the market for top quality seeds.
