Seeds sprout readily after being removed from the pod. Either cut through the tough seed coat with a file and soak in water for a day or simply put
the seeds in a cup, pour boiling water over them, and 24 hours later they will be plump and ready to plant. They germinate in just a few days. Up
here in the north (Central Coast of CA) I have 5 trees in a greenhouse, but even mild winters kill them outside. Seeds came from street trees in La

Harald, yes, it's a Delonix. Just get ahold of your German pal in El Centenario. I gave him enough for his place and to spread around among his pals.
Shari, I'll keep looking for Nomads going north by road and when I find somebody, they'll have seeds for you.

Delonix seeds really like scarification to germinate within weeks - other wise it might take years
