Annona experts, how do you germinate annona tomentosa and cornifolia seeds

[Sp0nser]

I have some seeds i ordered from fruits hunter a while back, but i cant seem to germinate them, anyone have experience with germinating them?

If fresh, just throw them in a good drainage germinating mix substract and give them heat.

All annonas seeds if fresh don't need anything special, besides Annona crassiflora, those are my criptonite

What do you mean "give them heat", like a heatpad?

Im alsa having trouble with fungus gnat larvae in the soil where ive planted the seeds, will they do anything to the seeds

I have good success rate by using coconut coir as my seeds germination media.

     I recently germinated several cornifolia seeds using GA3 @ 500ppm for 24 hours. They germinated in about a month after using GA3. I also planted out some without treatment and none of those germinated. I actually just took the ones that didn't gerimate yet after 6 months and soaked them in GA3. I just did that several days ago but will report on how they do.

With the right temperature, this method is the best so far for me.

I treated these cornifolia seeds with GA3 about 3 weeks ago after they wouldnt germinate. GA3 really does the trick.
