During the site clearance I have picked off a good number of seed

My Question is how do I get the seeds out?
They have been well smoked during the cut and clear that has been
going on.

Hope this link works for you. I found it by typing "How to open
callistemon capsules" (minus the ""s).

If it helps, try the "How to ..." approach with the Melaleuca.

Thanks for that link, but it doesn't say what "Warm" is, I have a
feeling that Australian warm is different to UK warm.
Also doesn't sat what to do with the capsules that don't open in 2 or 3
days,
Looks as if it will be the oven for some to see what happens
