[MPWG] Cultivation of blue and black cohosh

[Michael Schenk]

Dear list,

I'm looking for information on the cultivation and life cycle of black cohosh and blue cohosh.  I have a healthy wild population of black cohosh, and a smaller population of the blue.  This is in the Valley and Ridge area of the Appalachians.  My intention is to increase the population of threatened plants, while maintaining a modest sustainable harvest.

Discussion on list would be interesting, but you can send me information off-list as well.

This is a short post.  If you respond on list, please quote only what you need to.  :)  
It's a pleasure to be in the company of you all.

Best regards,
