Propagation & Germination

Stratification:
Warm then cold/moist stratification (double dormancy) — 90–120 days

30–180 days
Notes:
Seeds require removal of fleshy aril and benefit from warm stratification followed by cold period. Germination is often erratic and may take multiple seasons.

ORGHPS Germination Guide: Pulpy coat inhibits germination. Remove by soaking and rinsing in clean water for approximately 7 days. Discard water. * wash fresh seed in detergent; sow immediately; grow in alternating warm and cold cycles under lights for 2 seasons to bring to flowering size quickly
