Reply:Just let the seed pods dry out naturally, they'll crack open and there will be hundreds of little flat, black seeds neatly stacked inside. Then all ya gotta do is plant them.
Reply:There should be brown pods at the top of the plant that contain the seeds. The seeds are black in color and somewhat round and flat in shape. If the plant was well pollinated, there should be tons of the seeds inside the pods. The seeds require no stratification. You may plant these now or place them in a brown grocery bag in a cool place and wait until next Spring to plant. Check that there are no critters inside the pods that will eat on the seeds. This could be indicated by holes in the seed pods. I would go ahead and plant them now and not take a chance on the seed eating critters.
Reply:we have yuccas and they are spreading like crazy. we do not use the pods. my husband chops the existing plant ( shovel downward into the base) and transplants the new parts. does not affect the original plant. we live in NJ and the winters do not affect them.
