In 12 ore hanno assorbito acqua solo nel primo strato di tegumento,se gratto un pò il tegumento è ancora ascutto.In rete ho trovato solo questo:
"The first step is preparation. Fresh water needs to reach the living seed inside the protective casing. This can be done by sanding the seed in one spot until a hole appears, or using a Dremel tool to grind away a spot or cut a small portion of the seed coat away. Avoid the area at either end of the seed, as that is likely where it will sprout from.
Put in a shallow dish of fresh water and leave it overnight or about 24 hours. The seed will swell as it absorbs water. After that, it is planted in good soil in a pot at a depth of 1-1/2 - 2 inches. Do not let it sit in the water for a long time or it can start to rot. I have simply planted the seed without the soaking, with some good results.
Eventually a little shoot will emerge from the soil. After that, feed it with any good liquid fertilizer, follow the directions. Give it direct sunlight, and continue watering. "
ma in natura a cosa vanno incontro questi semi?Sono bucati da qualche animale,galleggiano per settimane nei torrenti o cadono direttamente nella lettiera?
