Sheshadri'ji, I've had some success with difficult seeds like Nux Vomica , Mala Veppu [ Melia Dubia?] etc. In the case of Nux after much research I found that new seeds do not sprout well and that they have to be at least 6 months old. This may be the case with some other seeds too. Also 'scarification' and soaking of hard seeds also help.
I have been repeatedly unsuccessful in the case of Delonix Elata [ Vadhanarayanam]. Would you be having any saplings of this? I live in Bangalore too and would like to help with seed germination if possible.
