Comments: | Hard seed coat inhibits germination. A short cold stratification will improve germination % and speed / uniformity of germination once the seed coat has been scarified. If you stratify a non scarified seed nothing will happen as the hard seed coat will not allow the entry of water. Some of the seeds will be scarified in the cleaning process. |

Germination info: | Seed requires a scarification prior to sowing followed by a cold moist stratification. Minimum of 30 days cold stratification but some growers will do longer. |
