Strelitzia seeds

Title: Strelitzia seeds
Creator: Unattributed
Date: 19uu
Description: Transcrit: "Babiana's answer is that strelitzia seeds are notoriously difficult to germinate but a little easier if the seed is very fresh and the skin not yet hardened and become impervious to water. For interest's sake you could try filing the seeds until the skin is rubbed almost through before planting them by pressing them into the moist surface of a seed box containing compost and coarse sand. It is hardly worth the trouble, however, as seeding Strelitzias take about seven years to flower."
