Might I have just stumbled appon the worlds simplest method to sprout Hard shelled seeds? This method is so simple, and it worked with 3 varieties of seeds that first needed scarification. The seeds I tested this theory on was the Musquete seeds. I also tested this and fount it to be true with olive seeds, and sensitive plant seeds. I hope you fill find it useful as well as interesting!

What about Sarvisberry seeds, being so small, how do I scarify them?
Hm, seems like slow cranking a vice till u hear a crack would be more controlled.
Sound quality matters. It's not so hard; get closer to the mic. Can't like till this changes.
HE'S CUTTING THE ENDOSPERM!! DO NOT DO THIS! Scarification should happen at the point furthest away from where he's cutting.
Fabulous idea for small seeds. Anxious to see what happens.
Loved your disclaimer for the Snow Flakes! ha ha ha
i Made before
ITS Work for grape s.
I've sprouted palm seed from sidewalk by a neighbors palm tree with this method, they grew within a year
I need to try this for bluebonnet seeds
Have successfully used this method with Gingko biloba seeds, at one of the tips, and got a quite a few to germinate. Agree with below comment: avocado does not need scarifying, the whole thing will split open without any treatment, can be done in water or moist compost. And agree that video is a bit long-winded, but good idea – with some hard seeds, it's not very effective to rub them with sandpaper, I've found, or it takes ages to take off enough, and it's hard to judge when it's right.
Is there a particular time of the year to do this?
can i use this method to sakura cherry blossoms seed?
Prickly pear is the most hardest seeds ever

Thanks for the video but I'm afraid you blabbling to much dude, try to keep it short and straight forward.
The MIcro Gardener, do you have a video on how to germinate an olive seed?
Nailclippers! I couldn't tell what they were from the thumbnail. That's brilliant.
I'm trying to nick canna seeds, and these things are tough. Thanks for the idea.
Going to try this with Kentucky coffee tree seeds! Great idea!!!
I liked you method. very novel idea. But u can rub off the opposite end of the rooting-point on a sand-paper and leave the seed in water too ! it will germinate in 24 hours.
Was really hoping you'd be doing the olive pits, seeing that they're BIG. But thanks for the knowledge!
wow. The 1st time I know this simplest method for scarifying seed. Thanks, my friend
Hi. I’m trying to grow a prickly pear cactus. Check them out. They have extremely hard shells. I think you’d enjoy trying it and I’d enjoy a video if you made one of scarifying a prickly pear seed. They’re very challenging to grow
Oh and thank you so much for this idea!

That is a very useful tip, my friend. I like your style! I've been using sandpaper on Tagastase or Tree Lucerne, which, being in the broom family, has small hard shiny seeds. Without scarification of some kind, they take a month of Sundays to germinate. The highly decorative vanilla passionfruit also has hard seeds that benefit from nicking. 🙂 Col, NZ.
Any way you can do a banana seed? They just seem so "flubber" shaped and confuse me on where to scarify. . .
Wow great video thank you!
Wow this vid 8 years old. But I am trying this with Lupine flower seeds hope it works
