I have luck with my seed just soaking for a couple of hours, then peal the cork off then you know for sure if you have a seed, out of a batch od 29 seeds last year there were only 10 with a seed. I start mine in those little seeds pods that you soak, and let them expand then just poke the seed in, when they grow you plant the whole thing and doesn't disturb the roots. you can buy them at Wal-Mart.or any place that sells the potting soil.
