Everybody seems to be able to sprout them from seed except me. The only one I ever sprouted was 6 years ago, and a squirrel tore it up 2 days after it came up. I have a couple dozen going right now. So far, it's been well over a month and nothing yet. I know they can take a while though, and I have plenty anyway, but I like starting plants from seed. Sometimes you can get some genetic variations, which can be pretty cool.
