Hi Marianne, Just so that you are not disappointed - the seeds require pre-treatment prior to sowing... They have to be soaked in cold water for 24 hrs. The seeds that sink to the bottom of the container are viable and have to be promptly sown. The seeds that are found floating obviously have to be discarded. Good Luck !!! Regards, Neil Soares.

The trees are growing in Bandipur just beyond Mysore and look like a plantation of the same variety. They are slim trees. Grateful for identification please. Many thanks! Marianne -- Former Asst.
