Seeds from this species ...
...difficult to germinate and need up to 1 year to
sprout.
Soaked the seeds for one week in tap water and placed them in a freezer bag with filled with peat moss wetted
with a fungicide solution. Seeds were kept outside in the shade during the summer (~ 80 F to 95 F)and inside
during the winter (~ 60 F to 80 F). Two seeds germinated within 3 months, 3 seeds within 6 months and 3 within
12 months. I still expect the last two seeds to germinate. A wetter medium seems to improve the germintion rate
on this variety but be sure and use sufficient fungicide.
