A secret ginseng patch
Appalachian ginseng with seed: Ok, this is not a
tree but a very valued plant that grows in isolated conditions on rich,
well-drained soils under an American deciduous hardwood forest. This particular
patch was located along a small creek in western North Carolina but was
plundered by poachers in 2002.
