Ginseng (/ËdÊÉªnsÉÅ/) is any one of the 11 species of slow-growing perennial plants with fleshy roots, belonging to the genus Panax of the family Araliaceae. Ginseng is found in North America and in eastern Asia (mostly northeast China, Korea, Bhutan, eastern Siberia), typically in cooler climates. Panax vietnamensis, discovered in Vietnam, is the southernmost ginseng known.
Go where the ginseng grows. Ginseng is native to eastern hardwood forests of North America, from southern Canada (Ontario and Quebec), west to South Dakota and Oklahoma, and south to Georgia. 1 Ginseng is also commercially grown outside its natural distribution in Oregon and Washington. If there is any risk of damaging the roots of adjacent immature ginseng plants, do not attempt to harvest the plant. 2  After you have dug the root out, squeeze the red fruits into the palm of your hand and plant the seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in the soil near the harvested plant.
