[MPWG] Demand for Rhodiola from the wild

[Susanne Schmitt]

Dear MPWG members

Dr Bertalan Galambosi, Agrifood Research Finland is doing successful
cultivation work on Rodiola rosea. I am sure he could provide further
information. His e-mail address is bertalan.galambosi at mtt.fi 

His pictures were featured in the recent Herbalgram article on Rhodiola
rosea.

Best wishes
Susanne Schmitt

Here is an article on Rhodiola rosea, which is fast becoming the new
exotic 
herb.  Late in the article is mention of the problem of finding
sustainable 
sources.  This is a long-lived plant. I'm not sure how long it takes to

reach marketable size.
