haven't got to go yet my self new to this area I live now in Lancaster so really don't know where to go but hoping to go soon . my brother got some planted on his place some of them are already turning yellow
Its been several years since I dug any ginseng but based on my past experience the berries should have been bright red for the last few weeks. "Typically" in October the plant starts turning yellow. Late September and early October was always the easiest time for me to see it...red berries in September and starting to turn yellow in October.
