ORGHPS Germination Guide: Sow immediately, Either the viability of these seeds is short or the species propagates best with fresh seed. Stored seed might be coaxed into germination with temperature cycling and patience. Sow @ 4°C for 3 weeks, then place at 20°C. Pulpy coat inhibits germination. Remove by soaking and rinsing in clean water for approximately 7 days. Discard water. * remove pulpy coat with detergent washes; germination unlikely if dried by just 20%, store seeds @ 4°C
