Ginseng Seedlings – (10) Bare Root

Description

Bare Root Ginseng Seedlings | American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

2025 Update:

Wild pigs have recently torn up the nursery area. I don’t think there will be any bare-root seedling survivors to offer this year 🙁 Between now and spring, I hope to get hog-proof fencing put up so this doesn’t happen again next year. It first happened a few years ago, and they didn’t return last year. But apparently they return sooner or later.

Packing

Rootlets are packed with live sphagnum moss or coconut coir in cellophane bags. As soon as you get them, they’ll need to be placed in the vegetable crisper drawer in the refrigerator or planted very soon. In the refrigerator crisper drawer, they’ll hold until spring if necessary but it’s best to plant them before the ground freezes in your area.
