i have started to germinate these and here are some results so far:

Palo verde tree seeds:
first i used a pair of nail clippers and clipped the seedcoat to expose the inside
then soaked in warm water, change water daily
on the 2-3 day roots are visible and start to emerge from the seeds
i have potted them will get pics once plants are established

Catalupa tree seeds:
Take seeds soak in warm water, change water daily
on day 3-4 roots are visable and start to emerge from the seeds

Red bird of paradise:
first use nail clippers and clip seedcoat to expose inside
soak in warm water, change daily
roots appear on day 3-4

yucca brevifolia-joshua tree
