Some years ago I learned how to harvest and process He Shou Wuโ€ฆ in the NC mountains. I know there was kind of an initiative there to grow some Chinese herbs. Wish I could give you a specific contact, but it could be something to look into. Whoever is doing it might be connected with WNC Medicinal Herb Growers or the Buncombe County Cooperative Extension.

Strictly medicine seeds out of Oregon has great info and so many seeds and plant offerings.

Just heads up if looking to grow things a bit unusual.

My hair needs some He Shou Wu now actually haha

This is great. This will be great in the future as I would love to harvest some medicinals. Even some bai shao and Wu Wei zhi.

So many Chinese herbs COULD grow well in various parts of the U.S. Iโ€™m surprised it isnโ€™t already more of a thing considering how much our ginseng is preferred.

Oh yes I love me some Xi Yang Shen since itโ€™s much more cooling than a warm ass Ren Shen haha

But you are right. I think maybe because a lot of them are native to China and carry that climatel (yes I made that word up) energy

I need about 20 years to get to write it in Mandarin sorry.
