[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2284457, member: 5412"] The (3) mechanical scarification is the one we tried with the sandpaper. I didn't have any finger prints for awhile. lol. They also suggested acid to break down the outer layer. We didn't think of acid, but since every critter in the woods loves persimmon fruit, it has to be the way that the trees spread, and they are always in groves. Its rare to find a single tree. We wondered if the animals spread the seeds in their poo, with the stomach acid breaking down the hard shell? With that in mind, we find animal poo containing the seeds around our trees all the time in the fall, so we might collect some, put in a wet paper towel inside a zip lock bag, and see if they will sprout. Edit: I don't have a clue how that pic got in my earlier post, and I can't delete it. [/QUOTE]
