Cracking the shell works very good for germinating Hystrix seeds. One of my seeds shot its root out in 25 days.

I've been cracking the seeds with my fingers but I can't break all of them. Is there a safe way to do it? (like a nut cracker?)

Thanks

I used a nut cracker to crack open my seeds. It worked very well.

I used a pair of pliers without damaging the seed inside.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps

Thanks for the info. I didn't want to ruin any seeds.
