Try stratifying them Charlie. Leave the seeds in their berries, cover
them with sand, place in a sheltered spot out of doors and forget about
them till early next spring. Unearth the berries, wash the seeds clean
of any remnants, then give them a 20 minute soak in 5% hypochlorite
solution to kill any bacteria. Sow immediately in sandy, sterilised
compost, lightly covering the seeds and maintain temperatures of around
20 - 23C. Subsequent germination is usually quite rapid.
