How much of a difference does it make if you peel all the fibre or coating off the trachycarpus seeds vs just putting them in dirt as they come off the tree,

I got 2000 seeds I want to try with

Hi Bill,

For me no difference. Trachies normally do have a good germination rate.  They don't need high temps.

I used to clean them off of that black outer coating.  I don't bother anymore, I don't see a difference.

With fresh seed like that, no difference. I would clean though if you plan on storing any at all. 

Zone 8b, Csb (Warm-summer Mediterranean climate). 1,940 annual sunshine hours 
Annual lows-> 19/20: -5.0C, 20/21: -5.5C, 21/22: -8.3C, 22/23: -9.4C, 23/24: 1.1C (so far!)

Toss them in a mulch pile and cover them an inch or two. Water 2x per week. Wait 6 weeks. 90% will germinate.
