I don't know much about ginseng, but this is something that was helpful: Ginseng is not heat-tolerant, so in southern states it is usually found only in mountainous areas. It usually grows in well-shaded areas (especially north- or east-facing slopes) of moist hardwood forests, especially where tulip poplar, maple, beech, hickory, walnut, and, sometimes, oak trees are present. The more mature the forest (with large hardwood trees and a full canopy that shades out most shrubs, briars, etc.), the better, as a thick understory of smaller plants will overshade or outcompete ginseng. The plant is highly sought, and known populations are kept secret, so you will generally have to venture deep into the forest to have any chance of finding it. -Wikihow Good luck! Let me know if you find any, because that's kind of cool!
