Hello,
Yes it is!
Here is the batch of seeds:
What i did:
- 1-remove the brown coat to have the dark hard shell.
- 2-scratch the seeds on a sand paper (just to have marks)
- 3-put in a glass of hot water for 1 day
- 4-another day in new hot water glass
- 5-the dark shell is now "softened" and can be removed (if not, one more day in water)
- 6-the blank/cream seed is now ready to be sown (the 2 "bumps" heads down)
The hardest thing is not germination.
Having a really draining soil + little watering.
I hope this time i won't "drown" the baobabs ! (easy rot on roots)
I can't plant it outside (no freeze allowed) so i will try to keep it in pot.
