Seed - requires pre-treatment to soften the hard seedcoat and allow the ingress of water. This can be done by soaking the seed in a small amount of nearly boiling water (which cools down quickly and does not cook the seed) and then soaking the seed for 12 - 24 hours in warm water. Alternatively, a small area of the seed coat can be abraded, being careful not to damage the embryo. Germination of treated seed is about 90% within 60 days. Germination of untreated seeds is about 75% in 4 - 29 days. The seed is usually sown in situ. Seeds should be sown in areas with full sunlight, as the slightest shade reduces germination considerably [3]
