Chaste Germination:
1) Scarify the seeds lightly with sandpaper.
2) Let them soak 24 hours in warm water. Using a thermos will help greatly.
3) Cold stratify by placing in a zip lock bag with moist perlite or vermiculite, and place in the fridge for 90 days. Place a few small holes to allow for air circulation and periodically check to ensure they stay "slightly moist", but never wet.
4) Use a heated propagator mat to keep the soil around 75 degrees F., and plant the seeds no more than 1/16" of an inch deep.
5) Keep slightly moist and expect germination to occur within 2-3 weeks.
