| My bridal veil tree (Caesalpinia granadillo) has just dropped seed pods. I would love to try sprouting and growing. the pods are very thick and hard. How do I go about sprouting them?
Thanks |

| Pretreating seeds can often be avoided if the seeds are planted as soon as they have ripened. As the seed ages the seed coat on many plants seeds becomes impermeable, and then requires pretreatment. Al |
