Melanie, I take a file and file away at the hard seed shell/coating, just a little slice into it is all you need, enough that the water can get into it, then I just drop them into a bucket of water, won't be long and you will see little white "spider" looking roots sticking out - after that it will send up a green shoot to the surface of the water. Takes them awhile from seed, but I love them, and love the smell of this all over the place yellow one here :)
