I'd buy 2 packs but $10 to ship 10 seeds is a bit too much. I hope it's just a website calculation error.

I got 2 of 6 so far. I think one or two were black at the pointed end, maybe insect damage?

Sorry to hear you guys are getting no germination. I got 5 out of 5 to germinate. Maybe post methods that everyone is using to germinate.

I had 3 seeds eaten by rodents during Irma's aftermath, but I have 1 which has sprouted and about 2 inches tall, planted in a Jiffy peat pellet.

What my dad does with the sugar apple seeds is to test its buoyancy. If the seeds are buoyant, then it won't germinate.

I soak the seeds in R.O. water with a drop or two of nitrozyme added. Seeds are left soaking in small baggy with the water for about 24hr.

I then use a 16oz water bottle and use a coir/peat moss petite seed starting mix. The seeds are planted with a light layer of mix covering.

I make sure the mix is lightly damp. I then add another table spoon or two of water over the seeds. Seal up the container with tape and make a small slit on the cap and slits foe drainage.

Container is placed inside a corner of a grow tent with an LED grow light. Temps range between 76 when lights out and 85 with lights on.

soak seed for 24 hrs with clean water changes every 8 hours. Seeds will float if dry but after soaking should sink.   A quick dip in a fungicide wouldn't hurt either before planting.  Plant in sterile growing medium. a commercial seed starting mix with peat in perlite works fine.

i always squeeze the seeds for before planting, pretty hard too...if they have any give (hollow feeling) they're worthless.

I have also found the float test to be worthless. I do the squeeze test like adam.

I got one of six to germinate.  Still waiting for others.  Soaked 24 hours then planted in Perlite/peat with bottom heat.  I still want to graft a scion to get true to type when they become available in the Spring.  (Please hold one for me Luke.)

Follow-up.  The one seedling that sprouted dampened off and died.  Still no other seeds have sprouted.  This is strange as I have planted many Annonas before and usually get high rates of germination.  I have many 1-2 year old seedlings ready to be grafted onto.  I hope I can get a scion from you Luke when they become available.
