Growing & Marketing Ginseng, Goldenseal & Other Woodland Medicinals

Rising interest in native herbs prompted full-time ginseng grower Dr. W. Scott Persons and horticulturalist Dr. Jeanine M. Davis to combine their expertise to create this practical guide to the cultivation of woodland medicinals€"including ginseng, goldenseal, ramps, black cohosh, spikenard, and wild ginger. Expanded from Persons' out-of-print book, American Ginseng: Green Gold, this thorough handbook is indispensable for both prospective and experienced woodland growers. Profiting from sustainable non-timber forest products is emphasized as an alternative to depleting wilderness resources. Illustrated with over two hundred photographs and numerous tables, it will appeal to those looking to turn a profit or to those merely interested in a horticultural challenge.
