Hi i sucessfully germinated baobab,but root system were damaged by me,but still two other raised, i want to share information that baobob need direct hot sunlight and water combination to rise,humus rich sandy soil will increase speed to rise.no need to boil/pile/soak.It is good to germinate in summer and sunny day(28 degrees c +).It will be very fast..but keep seeds in sunlight in combination with white ash for some days say 10 to 45 days to become lighted and tree stronger.Its a practise followed in india by seed experts,ash will make not ants ,flies etc,sunlight will make seed mature in oils etc.boiling makes seed weaker and more chances to die/live unhealthy. I think alignment of seed is important.hole gives water and soil to promote expantion and easy rise,Thank you all for information.
