Any Ginsing Hunters on the OB?

When I lived in Tennessee for a while, I heard about people searching the hills for ginsing making good money. I watched a few minutes of this new Appalachian Outlaws show and apparently, prices are pretty ridiculous with buyers paying up to $650/lb. These 2 guys picked up 10 lbs in one afternoon. I'd call that a good day.
Anyone done it?

There are some trees in the Tech Arboretum behind South Campus.
Nevermind, I was thinking of Ghinkgo Biloba trees, not the shrub.

Are the trees native to any part of Louisiana?

I am able to watch a bunch of shows like that, but I liken that to the Honey Boo Boo of outdoor shows. I watched a total of 15 minutes and turned it off. Would rather watch Mick Dodge run around in the woods all night than that stupidity
Besides, Survivorman has a new season going now

It's not a tree, but a little shrub and I think they are native to the Appalachian range.
Unless you are Whisky Richard, of course.

Can you not grow this on a farm?

Farm raised 'sang doesn't command anywhere near the price of wild ginseng. I own a good bit of acreage in the mountains of North Carolina and poachers digging ginseng is a constant problem. They can totally eradicate the plant from an entire mountainside in an afternoon. It takes decades to reestablish IF it reestablishes at all.
