I had also posted this under saving seeds..Does anyone know how easy it is to grow this bush/tree from seeds? Do I need to soak the seeds first? or maybe score them? Thanks!!

They are not easy to grow. If you have a pod of seeds, you will notice the difference in the size of the seeds. Mother Nature made them different sizes to germinate in different YRS! Smart old gal!
I think they have to be knicked, soaked, blessed, & anything else you can think of.
I have a 35 gal one but I cheated & bought it when it was only 15 gal. I still have it @ the Farm & all our customers want that one. The sales people have tell them THAT one is not for sale.
I lucked out a couple of wks ago & found 1g multi-trunked ones for $1.80 each (They were 70% off.). So, I bought 2!!!
Good luck!!!

I have grown several from seeds. After failing many times, I discovered that by the time the seeds turn red and harden that is too late . . at least for me. I plant them immediately after getting them out of the pod when they are still white and they have germinated for me this way.
