Ginseng

     This is my first time on this site.  I have also been lurking in the 
back ground and enjoying it immensely.  My name is Stephen Belcher, 
a professional gardener.  It's my job , business, hobby and passion. 
I may be crazy.
     I have been growing ginseng for several years now.  This is the 
first time I've gotten seeds.  I also saved ten plants from a 
development site recently and they also had seeds.  Having read all
I have found on ginseng propagation I have the following questions.
     I keep reading seeds take several years to sprout.  My 
understanding is if planted while still red and fleshy they will 
sprout the first year.  When I got started I had dried seeds and they 
did take several years to sprout.  Does any one have experience in 
this area.
     Next I read that root cuttings can be taken but I'm scared to 
death to try.  Each root only has a single shoot on it.  If I cut 
part of the root off I don't want to take a chance on loosing both.  
     I'll appreciate any info.
Thanks,
Stephen
