Ha! Patting myself on the back for that!
I didn't even Google it first
Radix=root (biology)
Ruber=red
Then googled to make sure I was right😂
Or does it go the other way?
Ruber radix?

Yeah more stuff to learn about What is the Latin for red root? Do you mean the scientific name? That would be Ceanothus americanus, which is the most commonly sold type of red root. There are other Ceanothus species with the same properties. |

Our growing zone is a 3a to a 2b and it says its a zone 4. Maybe by the big lake. Not to hijack this thread too much more what do you think of the pine pollens and cambium from the white pine. |

Not to hijack this thread too much more what do you think of the pine pollens and cambium from the white pine. We have about 4 species here in Nevada. They can look drastically different from each other. I love pollen in general. Highest herbal source of pantothenic acid (B5), which is the second most important nutrient for the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are essential for a lot of things in the body preventing allergies, asthma, inflammation, regulating the thyroid, producing sex hormones, regulating sodium-potassium balance, helping regulate blood sugar levels, etc. The cambrium layer is considered a famine food. Was used by many settlers coming out West to keep from starving. Does contain a lot of vitamin C, which is the most important nutrient for the adrenals, but overall is not nutrient rich. So good again to keep from starving but would not want to eat is as main meals all the time. |

Many of them are obscure and/or do not grow anywhere close to where I live such as lapacho, which only grows in Brazil, Argentina that are the commercial sources and India. |

Been trying to research a good source I can grow succulents in our lovely climate but cannot keep anything else alive

All depends on what you are looking for. Some companies only specialize in some types of herbs such as North American, South American, Chinese or Ayurvedic. And again this can make some herbs hard to find such as dipscacus, eupatorium, coleus forskohlil, cactus grandiflorus, cotton root bark, picrorrhiza, guduchi, etc. Should be pretty easy to grow a lot of stuff up there. Lavender for example should grow well there as well as rue, ginger, turmeric, nettle, comfrey, mint, etc. If you are only growing in pots then you will be a lot more limited. And there are tricks to help plants to grow such as adding ground up yucca plants to the soil for their steroidal saponins that help plants adapt to stresses. Coffee grounds are great fertilizer helping to adjust soil pH and providing nitrogen. Coke is a good phosphorus source for plants, the sugar helps feed the soil microorganisms and the carbonation can be picked up through the roots. Speaking of soil microorganisms I like to collect deep rich soil from forests to add to the garden soil to introduce beneficial microorganisms. |

No yard, so can only grow in pots and very limited space.
Easier for me to buy what I need. And going to check a place out this weekend to see what they sell
