Growth—

Stauntonia yaoshanensis is native to the warm temperate and subtropical regions of China and should be moderately cold hardy. It is unlikely to withstand prolonged periods below around -5°c, though it might tolerate short periods down to around -10 to -15°c[PFAF]. Requires a well-drained moisture retentive soil in a sheltered position[1]. Succeeds in acid or alkaline soils, in full sun or in semi-shade[1]. It grows best if its roots are in a shady position and the top is allowed to grow into the sun[PFAF].

Propagation

Seed - sow early spring in a greenhouse. The seed can take 18 months to germinate. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in early summer and consider giving them some protection from the cold for their first winter or two outdoors[PFAF]. Cuttings.
