Basic economics of goldenseal as an agroforestry crop, and essential horticultural aspects of the plant will be covered. Forest crop tree management and silviculture, including how to manipulate the forest canopy to promote goldenseal crops and salvage trees killed by invasive insects, such as the Emerald Ash Borer, will also be discussed.
