Ginseng growers push seed farming to revive PA crop
In Cambria County, Pennsylvania Mountain Ginseng owners Thompson and Bollinger harvest berries to build a seed farm and spread Pennsylvania grown ginseng across forests. Rain and blight threaten recent yields, while experts note decades of overharvest and habitat loss. The long gestation of ginseng means berries this year won’t mature until 2006, with full value years away.
