Yew Germination:

For optimal germination, soak the seeds in slightly hot water for 36-48 hours, followed by two months of cold stratification before sowing at 1/2" deep in a sand-loamy soil. 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.
