I soaked the seeds for 2 weeks and planted in pots in Irish peat watered in a little miracle-grow then placed pots in a clear bin liner and tied the top checked every day to make sure the soil was mois not too wet after three months most of them have grown to about 5-8 inches this is my first atempt and I am really pleased.

...easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
germination said to be slow and sporadic, but i found by breaking the outer shell, which each contained two seeds, they germinated within 6 weeks at 80% success, using baggie method with 50% perlite and 50% vermiculite and placed in the airing cupboard.
