Will Ginseng Grow In Georgia?

Q: Will ginseng will grow in Georgia very well? 

A: Ginseng grows very well in north Georgia. That’s where shady, moist, rich, well-drained sites under hardwood trees can be found.

Wild-simulated ginseng production is the most profitable and ecologically sustainable means of growing ginseng. You begin by planting seed in a favorable site. Deer and slugs will be your worst enemies. You can harvest your surviving plants and their roots after about seven years, remembering that older plants are more valuable.
