Wild ginseng is ginseng growing or grown in an uncultivated state or harvested from its natural habitat. The belief that Ginseng runs away is a traditional saying in Asian countries. However, some Ginseng producers tie a red rope to their roots so they don’t move.
This movement takes place due to typical survival instincts, according to a saying,"Ginseng will run away like a man if it is not tied down". The Ginseng plant might run away over the years. Although this movement isn't too far. When the soil is not fertile enough for Ginseng to survive, they prefer more fertile soils and move there slowly. One of the other most known characteristics of Ginseng is that they don’t like to receive sunlight directly. That’s why they prefer to grow in forests with high tree densities.
In the 1980s, wild ginseng was listed as an endangered plant, meaning that no private individuals can dig it up. According to national forestry regulations, personnel from government departments and private individuals cannot pick the wild plants or destroy their growing conditions in ecologically protected areas.
Experienced pickers can estimate the root size of wild ginseng with a 60 percent degree of accuracy, based on the herb's leaves on the ground. Large, heavy and longer-growing roots are more valuable than others.
Experienced pickers follow a set of rules, including only digging up mature roots, leaving others in the ground. In other words, the pickers cannot be greedy or blind to protect nature, to keep it sustainable, because it nurtures and provides us with food for generations. Skill is required to protect ginseng roots as they are being dug up, which can take a picker one to two hours. In the case of larger roots, it can take a whole day to extract them.
