Yangmei is one of my most sought after tree. Some folks refer to it as the Chinese strawberry tree. I already have the European strawberry tree. Wouldn’t mind adding a yangmei to my cool weather tree collection, although I heard germination can be pretty tricky, with age of seeds, cold stratification followed by warm stratification and back to cold stratification affecting germination success.
Something tells me they would make good candidates for the winter sowing method...Worth a try I supposed!
