Ginseng Siberian

Siberian Ginseng is a member of the ginseng family, however it is not considered a 'true ginseng' because it is of a different genus than other popular ginsengs such as the Panax and American varieties. The root is not harvested until it is two or more years old; the older the root, the higher its value. The Siberian ginseng plant is a shrub of 1 to 3 meters tall, while the ginseng plant is herbaceous. It does not have any similarity in looks to Chinese ginseng, Korean ginseng or American ginseng. It is called Siberian ginseng in America for advertising purposes. Siberian ginseng is a shrub that grows 3 to 10 feet high. It's leaves are attached to a main stem by long branches. Both the branches and the stem are covered with thorns. Flowers, yellow or violet, grow in umbrella-shaped clusters, and turn into round, black berries in late summer. The root itself is brownish, wrinkled, and twisted.
