1 Time i got seeds from bays to germinate for me here is how i get almost every hard shell seed to germinate:
soak seeds overnight
get a coffie filter wet and put the seeds in it and then fold it in half both ways so you have 3 thicknesses on 1 side and 1 on the other,then i place it into a plastic baggie,blow a little air in,not a balloons worth just enough to lift the plastic a little,then place on a heat mat,seeds will germinate in 3 to 10 days,check daily and keep damp/wet,not soaking wet and turn,the seeds that require light put a lamp over them,using this i have gone from hardley any germination to almost 100%,I can now grow friuts,plants of HARD seeds with hardley any problems
a good resource for this method is :
