- Moisture, in my opinion, is the tricky part. You want to keep the soil consistently moist for weeks while waiting for your little babies to germinate, but you miss one day, and boom! you’re set back. Soaking seeds for 24 hours BEFORE planting can significantly cut down on germination time–and overall effort. To soak seeds, just place them in a cup of water for about 24 hours. Some people recommend starting with hot water and then just allowing it to cool as the seed soaks. Larger seeds with hard exteriors need to be scratched a bit before soaking, to ensure water will penetrate the outer shell.

Seed Germination By spring the abscisic acid is gone and the seed can sprout. We can collect seeds of these species and get them to sprout early. The seeds are put in moist soil and refrigerated for about four weeks (a process often called stratification). This is sufficient time to degrade the abscisic acid. Then the planted seeds are placed in a warm greenhouse. The seeds assume winter is over, spring has come, and they begin to sprout.

Often, the fruits are not produced in the first year, and the yield is generally low during the first few years. By year two, it produces around 300 pods, by year 3 around 400-500. A good tree can yield 1000 or more pods.
