I don't know why you say that, all it takes is a little warmth and moisture. Velutina is the weed of the banana family, about as difficult to grow from seeds as marigolds. Before I joined this org and realized that people actually wanted them I always cut the fruit off and threw it away before they popped open and the birds scattered seeds all over the backyard. A year later I'm still finding them coming up.
