John, I got the first seed from mine last spring.  I just cleaned them, soaked in water for a day or 2 and planted in a comm pot outside.  I found they grow as easy as the other Pthchosperma. They are now a few inches tall.

Do you think these have a shot here outdoors, John?  I've never heard of this one.

GOOD WISHES!

And, if you have some plants to spare, maybe bring a few down to the Death Camp? I'm sure I can find something to give you in return.

Understory, in the shade, marginal for 9b. If I have any luck, I'll be putting a few on my east side yard.........I just cleared out a spot where one of the compost stacks was for some Arch. purpurea (triple).....I may add these little guys there.

Always a chance, but only if you take it (of course, you know that!)

Let me know if you get a few spare and I am happy to give one or two a shot here as well! :D  I'm sure I'll have something to share back from one of my current germination projects...
