Yucca Brevifolia Joshua Tree, 10 Seeds by Seeds2Go

I'm happy with this purchase. I received 10 seeds ranging from really healthy looking seeds (large & thick) to a few where you could look at them and just tell they were not going to germinate (smaller & thinner than average). To get a head start on germination, I soaked all 10 seeds in a wet paper towel and kept them on a heated mat for about 4 days. I was hoping to get a taproot to show itself, before planting, but none ever showed. On day 5, I decided to put the seeds into moistened root riot cubes, domed and on a heated mat. By around day 10/11, I finally saw some life in them! Of the 10 seeds, I have 3 growing in 4" cups. After this round, I learned a few things that might help you with increasing your success rate.Lessons Learned:1. Place Seed Taproot UP - I've always planted seeds so that a taproot would travel DOWN into the soil, however, I read somewhere on the web (desertplants .org) that Joshua Tree seeds should be planted so the taproot can travel UP. Since I couldn't find any consistent information on which way to direct taproots, I decided to go half up, and half down in the Root Riot cubes. I now know firsthand from this experiment that Joshua Tree seeds will indeed travel UP FIRST, break the surface, make a u-turn, then back through the surface to establish itself as a plant. You can see the seedling do this in one of the pictures. Amazing!2. Make Root Riot Holes Larger - In nature, a little seed in soil/sand likely may have been able to adjust itself to make its taproot go in the correct direction. However, since I used Root Riot cubes with tiny pre-made holes, and because Joshua Tree seeds are somewhat large and flat, the seeds were held very snug in place. I found out later after breaking apart a few of the Root Riot cubes that there were more than just 3 seeds that germinated, but because some seeds were planted incorrectly and held tightly in place by the Root Riot cubes, they just didn't have the power to adequately adjust themselves.

So far 6 of 10 have sprouted. I assume none of the others will which is pretty successful in my opinion. I’m in Ohio and these have been outside so far. One didn’t make it so we are 50% successful.

Received the 10 seeds. As others said, some are smaller and maybe look less healthy but in my case all have germinated after less than 1 week. I know there's a loooong way to go to get a Joshua Tree, but these seeds are good!

out of 10, 3 sprouted under green house conditions. but 2 died shortly after. 1 seems to be hanging on

Lets start by that they do not give any instructions. Soaked half of them, one germinated but died. Others are spending 3 months in the fridge, to come out soon, will see if that works.

been over 50 days now and none of the seeds have germinated.

I started 5 seeds in a clear glass with wet paper towel just to see how long rooting would take. All rooted in 2-3 days. Then planted the sprouts and the rest of the seeds. All have sprouted in a mix of cactus soil and sand. Now just waiting 20 yrs for them to get sizable...

I got the 10 pack of joshua tree seeds and didn't review right away because i wanted to make sure they grew. I planted 5 right away and they all grew and now i planted the other 5 and 4 already popped up in less than a week! Very happy with the quality of the seeds!
