Subject: Seed Germination

Does anyone know if there are any special germination requirements for 
the Australian 'Christmas tree' - Metrosideros excelsus, a member of the 
Myrtaceae.  Information on its propagation from seed seems to be sadly 
lacking which suggests that either it is too easy to discuss or no one 
has succeeded!

Many Thanks
