... are very easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
Nothing to it. I removed the fruit flesh. In early April I placed fresh seeds about 8 cm deep where I wanted them to grow in the landscape. I placed the seeds with what seemed to be the bottom end down. They germinated by mid-summer, with one germinating in September. I think only one didn't germinate.

... are easy to germinate and need up to 6 months to sprout.
Put seeds in plastic baggies of moist seed starter mix. Kept in a warm place in the house where they sprouted in about 4 months.

I first soaked the seed for 10 days with water with 1/4 teaspoon captan fungicide,then drained and soaked seed 2 days in clean water. Then put seed in baggie with peat moss soaked in captan water. squeezed excess water and seed started sprouting in three weeks and 90% was sprouted in 6 weeks. It is best not to turn seed over as it starts sprouting, as it disorientates the sprout and makes it harder to plant.

I soaked the seeds in luke warm water for 3 days (changing daily). Than press the seeds 2/3 of the way into
the soil, I used peat + perlite (50:50), temperature was about 90°F/30°C. First seed sprouted after
26 days and all five had germinated after 45 days.
