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.
Wild ginseng grows best in moist, rich hardwood forests like those found in Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Collectors are asked to select plants that have four or more leaf-prongs and abundant red berries, an indication that the plant is at least four years old.
