This link is the picture of the tuber that I can't identify. Can anyone help? It came from South China.

Is this the photo you were trying to link to? If not let me know and I will remove the link.

Yes that is the link picture. Thanks Any guesses are also welcome. It is in a vaccuum sealed package but I think it should be planted soon. Please help.

No idea what it is, If your unsure and what to plant it anyway, I'd suggest doing it in a pot as not to accidently release an invasive species. Where did you get it from?

Hi Thank you for replying. I received it as a gift and it is commercially sold in gift shops in China. I am guessing it is a gardenia as it is only grown in a small section of the area it came from, southern china. I need someone who reads chinese to verify my guess and tell me the planting instructions that are on the back of the vaccuum sealed pkging.
Here is the link again incase someone out there reads chinese :).

Thats Ginseng (Panax Quinquefolius)


Every plant started out as a seed ,and then came the waiting game.

actually asian ginseng is not all thta rare, but it is very healthy for your body. Although the american strain is much stronger. in my personal opinion it is the strongest energy booster ever.
