    Hi Sal, I sowed some of these seeds this year, I soaked them for 48hrs but didn't chip them, I put 6 seeds in and 4 have germinated, but they did take a while; after 3-4 weeks I was getting a little curious as they are supposed to germinate quickly so I had a little investigation and found the seed just splitting with a little shoot/root coming out. I covered them back up and they popped up a week later, they are now about 3-4" high and this 6 weeks after sowing...the growth rate is definitely quicker than the germination :blue thumb:
