Has anyone cracked open jujube seeds in order to sprout the embryo?
All the ones I've opened are hollow. Is a hollow seed a viable seed?
I expected the embryo to fill the cavity like other seeds.


I have. A friend gave me many jujube seeds from the middle east. I
cracked open the hard shell in a vise and each contained two seeds. I
germinated many of them. Just last month I cut down the last two jujube
trees. They are rapid growers.
