Can I go ahead and germinate these or do they need cold stratification?
Thanks a bunch.

Sow immediately - capesnsis are subtropical.
peat/sand mix, ~80 degrees temps, and increased humidity (ziplocs or saran wrap) are ideal.
Here's some additional info:

Veronis, Can I ask how you separated the seeds so cleanly from the dried husk of the seed pod. Did you just take your time, or did you find a time-saving trick?
In any case, good job
Thanks-Bud

Ya, I didn’t think there was too many easy ways- Veronis, I admire your patients . Some got a good deal for nice clean seeds.

It's not worth the trouble usually. These had minimal pieces. Seeds usually roll, husk doesn't. You can basically play cricket with the seeds on an angled sheet of paper. Roll them onto a second sheet to separate and pick out straggling parts manually.
