I found some seeds yesterday from this lysiloma and I really want to get them to germinate. I've done a lot of research and can't find anything on sacrificing them or just soaking them. If anyone has had experience with this any advice would be great. Gonna do a test run with all the methods I know next.
looks like this a tropical species with hard coated seeds.
i would be surprised if stratification is needed but to penetrate the tick seedcoat help would be needed.
where I would start is by overnight soak in water. if the seeds swell upp considerably, you are in business. else, you might need to nick the seedcoat, easiest done with sanding paper. then another overnigjt soak

Thank you for the reply I had them soaking last night and they seem to get a slimy outside once soaked. I will try planting if not I will try and use some sand paper. Thanks for all the help ! Much appreciated !
