Orthodox, that is to say seeds with the capability to withstand desiccation and freezing temperatures (-20°C) and may therefore be conserved for years, if not decades.
For germination you may...
1. proceed directly to sowing, without subjecting the seeds to any prior treatment.
Scarification : No scarification needed.
Stratification : No stratification needed.
Seedlings : Sow the seeds by broadcasting them on the growth medium. Bury very lightly, less than one millimeter from the soil surface. Be patient... not with germination, but with the speed of growth of the seedling which is extremely slow.
