> Hi - I am looking for any information on ginseng cultivation.  Thanks.

Briefly, ginseng requires cool temperate conditions, about 70% shade, 
and good, well-drained soil.  Time to harvest takes four years.  The 
seed must be stratified one year and does not tolerate dessication. 

There are several books you might want to look at:

   1.  American Ginseng, Green Gold.  W. Scott Persons.  This is a 
       grower's guide covering every facet of production and 
       marketing.  203 pp.  Softcover.  

   2.  Ginseng and Other Medicinal Plants.  Harding.  Although written 
       in 1914, it is still a worthwhile investment with lots of 
       hands-on information for commercial growers.  Also covers 
       goldenseal and other North American woodland herbs.  385 pp.  
       Softcover.  

Both are available from Richters.
