if you get a few unpeeled ones with lots of water inside and soak them in water for about 3 days then plant them in sandy soil and water them regularly you get at least one to sprout within a few months. many of the ones here that were left out in the monsoon sprouted even though they were just lying on the ground. of course some dried out after the rain stopped but many survived and those are the ones i posted about.. don't give up trying. best of luck
