Should one entertain scarification of large, hard shell tropical seeds or allow mother nature to work her magic in getting moisture inside? Is there inherent risk by pushing the germination speed this way or would it help by decreasing the chance of rot? Also I have seen many folks who surface sow rather than press them into the soil (with high humidity of course). Seeds in question would be akin to annona, artocatpus, sapote etc... I am paranoid of rot and patience in germination is NOT my strong suit, LOL! Mahalo!
