Ginseng

It was sort of flat.

Ginseng's typically on slope.

And, um, what's cool about ginseng is you can expose the top of the root, which is called the neck of the plant, and it shows, um, scars from previous years' stems that have broken off.

You know, it's an herbaceous perennial, so it dies back to the ground, and there's a bud on the top of the plant that grows the next year to make the new stem.

I was doing some research and obviously, guys, this is Dragon Dragon Ball Wiki.

If you haven't been there, it's a great site for details, but I didn't really realize this, but the director, he got the idea to make this film from, I think he was reading about ginseng, bilboa plants.

Bilboa, how do you pronounce that? Ginseng plants? Ginseng,

ginseng.

ginseng yeah ginseng plants he's like so evidently they were were trees when they were planted they were so they they needed so much nutrients that they like started just they just killed all the other plants around them so it kind of had a little environmental edge to it you know in this one and it was kind of a cool like idea that just he just just popped in his head he's like hey we're gonna we're gonna run with this one and then you get this really cool firefight scene in the You get oolong, you get all the old school guys.

That's a nice name.

All right, I think Ginseng will be a good bear, if Wachi doesn't bark at him.

And from that moment the bear's name was Ginseng as long as he lived, and he lived to be a very old bear indeed.
