Dried fruit seeds are very difficult and time consuming to germinate and always require a cold stratification period or many periods of cold warm, while fresh fruit seeds do not. That is why cultivated varieties are not grown from seed, that and the hybrids will not come true to type and take years to produce. Only species should be started from seeds and only if you cannot get the live plant. Because they are still very difficult to germinate once dried and take a long time to produce.
