Here's the first 5 minutes of my book-on-DVD, American Ginseng & Companions. It showcases the plants of the ginseng habitat and follows them through the seasons, beginning in early spring while there's still snow on the ground. It also includes a chapter on the most common look-alikes that confuse new enthusiasts. The whole DVD or USB can be ordered at shop.wildozark.com. Thanks for viewing! Let me know what you thought.

American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) in the spring time. I will dig it up in the fall and show the root system and talk about the uses and update on prices. Considered endangered in some areas, harvest with discretion. Thanks for watching and I hope to see you in the woods.

Foraging for American Ginseng - The Fall Plant. Easier to spot in the fall, the red berries give it away from a distance. As it gets later in the fall, the plant will turn a gold color making it even easier to spot. As with any wild edible/plant/fungus always consult with a local expert before using. Thanks for watching and I hope to see you in the woods.
