Habitat of the herb: the herb: Mountains in C. and S. Japan.
Propagation of Japanese Beech: Seed - the seed has a short viability and is best sown as soon as it is ripe in the autumn in a cold frame. Protect the seed from mice. Germination takes place in the spring. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. The seedlings are slow growing for the first few years and are very susceptible to damage by late frosts. The seed can also be sown in an outdoor seedbed in the autumn. The seedlings can be left in the open ground for three years before transplanting, but do best if put into their final positions as soon as possible and given some protection from spring frosts.
Cultivation of the herb: Mountains in C. and S. Japan.
Medicinal use of Japanese Beech: None known
Known hazards of Fagus japonica: Although no specific mention has been seen for this species, large quantities of the seed of many species in this genus are thought to be toxic.
