Sandelträ Alternativ

[etern]

Hej, jag har kommit över lite frön till vitt sandelträ, men problemet är att de vägrar gro. Har försökt med blötläggning och undervärme, och nu börjar fröna ta slut men de vägrar ge med sig. Är det någon som har erfarenhet av sandelträ eller har en idé jag inte provat?

Tack på förhand

hittade lite på engelska:
Propagation and cultivation has been considered difficult. Seed has a dormancy that is strongest in fresh seeds. One year's ageing raises germination from about 5-30% with three years giving 35% germination, indicating an after ripening requirement. Secondly, as with many hard seed coated species, the testa needs to be broken to induce germination. This can be easily, though carefully, done with a vice. Sow the cracked seed into an appropriate media and keep moist. Germination should occur within a month but may take up to four months. The optimum temperature for germination is 15° C so winter is the best time to sow. When cotyledons have hardened, pot the seedling into free draining media with half strength combined slow and moderate release fertiliser. Seed energy reserves will sustain growth until roots have established.
