For the best result with cold stratification, place in a sealed bag of moist peat moss, and place in the fridge at around 40-45 degrees F for around 60 days. Be sure to place 3-4 small holes in the bag. Any planting out is best done in late Spring or early Summer, after the last expected frosts. Keep damp soil, not soaking wet. Keep pot in warm situation 68-75°F. Germination of the Yes is erratic and can take several months, and some up to a year or more so patience is required. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eGerminación del tejo:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePara una germinación óptima, remoje las semillas en agua ligeramente caliente durante 36 a 48 horas, seguido de dos meses de estratificación en frío antes de sembrar a 1\/2\" de profundidad en un suelo franco arenoso. Para obtener el mejor resultado con la estratificación en frío, colóquelas en una bolsa sellada con turba húmeda y colóquela en el refrigerador a unos 40-45 grados F durante unos 60 días. Asegúrese de hacer 3 o 4 agujeros pequeños en la bolsa. Es mejor plantar al aire libre a fines de la primavera o principios del verano, después de las últimas heladas esperadas. Mantenga la tierra húmeda, no empapada. Mantenga la maceta en una situación cálida de 68-75 °F. La germinación del tejo es errática y puede llevar varios meses, y en algunos casos hasta un año o más, por lo que se requiere paciencia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seed Head Exotics","offers":[{"title":"10 SEEDS","offer_id":54101970026780,"sku":null,"price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 SEEDS","offer_id":54101970059548,"sku":null,"price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 SEEDS","offer_id":54101970092316,"sku":null,"price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 SEEDS","offer_id":54101970125084,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/9931\/2924\/files\/yew11.jpg?v=1778325955","url":"https:\/\/www.seedheadexotics.com\/products\/japanese-spreading-yew-tree-seeds-taxus-cuspidata-evergreen-bonsai-landscape-plant","provider":"Seed Head Exotics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
