I just bought a packet of the fruit and then squished the seeds of one berry onto paper towel, then folded it up and stored it. This was in winter. Around April I sowed the seed and it all came up and grew very well. I now have plants about a foot tall. Very healthy and easy to grow. I am treating it just as I would a tomato plant and it's growing wonderfully.
