Has anyone even managed to germinate them? Just curious, I've been having this question for years and always forget to ask it.

They used to wash up on south facing beaches in Grenada when I lived there. My friend has a nursery there and collects them and managed to germinate a couple, however none are naturally found there. I'm not 100% sure, but o think the population in Trinidad is a relatively new arrival, or at least the range is expanding there. Here's a pic of took of some seeds in-situ in Grenada on Fort Jeudy Beach, which is where they seemed to end up mostly.
